My Writing Partner

There are moments in my life when I stop and wonder how a person is doing.
If they are doing well,
If they are happy or sad.
If they have forgotten about me.
If they miss being around me.

In this particular case,
I think about you.

Sadly, I can no longer visit this writing site without thinking of you right away.
I questioned myself many times why that was.
And finally,
It dawned on me.

You were my writing partner.
You knew what it was to want to write down words that appear in your mind and try to make sense of it.
You knew how it felt to feel apart from everyone else as you became lost deep in your thoughts.

With you I always wanted to share my writings,
With you I always became inspired.
Even when the inspiration was caused by negative feelings.

I miss your friendship
Your criticism in my writing.
Your guidance.
I miss reading the beautiful poetry you created.
I always said that you should be a poet.
Following the footsteps of Becquer.

I feel sad that our friendship was tainted by
jealousy and distrust.
By a love that was impossible.

I wish I can take back that time and had never crossed that line.
That borderline of friendship and romance.
We were never meant to love one another.
I know that now.

Yet I realized it too late.

I wish we can be friends again.
I miss it.
We were so good together as friends.
Sharing our crazy thoughts,
making each other laugh.

Alas,
a frienship forever tainted
by the harsh cruel reality of love.

My writing partner,
a genius in your own right!
My muse...
I will forever cherish our moments of joy
when we shared beautiful words of poetry.

I hope that one day,
we can be writing partners again.

Until then,
May you continue to write lovely words of poetry
And inspire others along the way.
