Defriended Yet Cherished

Memories linger like shadows on the wall,

I thought we were forever, but now I've lost it all.

The laughter and the secrets, they faded away,

I keep your name in whispers, though you're far away.

In the photos of the past, we danced through the light,

Shared our dreams and moments into the night.

But time has a way of turning hearts apart,

Now I’m here with echoes, holding on to the start.

Defriended but not forgotten, I see your face,

Every little memory finds its place,

Through the silence between us, there's a trace,

Of the friendship we vowed that time can't erase.

You’re a part of my soul, even if we're apart,

In the corners of my mind, you’ll always have a part.

Though the bonds may have broken, we were once so free,

Defriended but not forgotten, you’ll always be with me.

Starlit conversations, we shared our fears,

Now the distance echoes, but the joy brings tears.

Scrolling through our past, smiles light up my phone,

There’s a warmth in your memory, even on my own.

Defriended but not forgotten, I can still feel,

The spirit of our laughter, and the love that was real.

Though paths may diverge, and words are left unsaid,

In the heart’s quiet corners, our story's not dead.

You’re a part of my soul, even if we're apart,

In the corners of my mind, you’ll always have a part.

Though the bonds may have broken, we were once so free,

Defriended but not forgotten, you’ll always be with me.

Maybe someday we'll find our way back to the light,

Reconnect the broken pieces that slipped out of sight.

But until that moment, I’ll carry your name,

In the whispers of the wind, it’s still the same.

So here’s to the memories, both good and the rough,

Defriended but not forgotten, our bond is enough.

As life leads us onward, and seasons may change,

You’ll linger in my heart, forever unrestrained.
