Let's Be Friends

A long time ago

We used to be friends

I said some things you thought were rude

They were uncalled for, hurtful and crude.

I miss you, and I wish to apologize

For being inconsiderate, thoughtless and unkind.

You were a friend I held dear

And quite often I've hoped to bring you near

Please accept this gesture of sincere expression

With confidence and little hesitation

We've wasted so much time I fear

I do not want to lose our friendship

to estrangement another year.

I had not considered your point of view

And did not intend to hurt you

When people see me they say,

It looks as if I've lost my best friend.

I tell them it looks this way

because I have, it's true

I've lost my friend from way back when

And hope that one day soon

My best friend will return again

And our friendship will resume.
