The Truth Poem by Elizabeth Grace

I could say you're not worth it.
I could say it's the end.
I could say that I regret
that I called you my friend.
I could say that I hate you
although that is a lie.
I could say that I wouldn't care,
even if you died.

I could say that I'm hopeless
and lost without you here,
or I could say that I am glad
that you are nowhere near.
I could say that I need you
forever by my side.
I could say go and find yourself
because I know I've tried.

I could say you are nothing
and I am not much more,
or I could say that you're the ocean
and I'm the sandy shore.
I could say I can't live without you
although I pushed you away,
I could say that I don't think about you
every single day.

I could say oh so many things,
but none would be quite true.
I guess the only thing to say
is the truth; I'm missing you.
I'm missing all the rainy nights
we walked around the town,
I'm missing all the times we had.
I miss the ups and downs.

I miss knowing that you're there
I miss your gorgeous smile.
I miss you being my best friend
like you were for a while.
I miss the time we'll never have
if this where it ends.
Just know that 'til the day I die
I'll miss us being friends.
