I haven’t been a good friend
I haven’t been a good friend.
She winced as her words tripped into the world
Words she had thought so many times before,
But never believed she would admit to their intended audience.
I never call when I think of you,
She continued
I rarely even text.
I make plans to send you birthday gifts, and holiday cards,
But I never follow through
And it weighs on me.
And even now,
I use the words I and me
As I discuss how I have let down you
I’m sorry.
I haven’t been a good friend.
