My Friend [Poem]

Blue Mountains Botanical Garden, Sydney, NSW

I have become an adult
But I have a child inside me
I had a friend
Who was always besides me

I think I have grown old
But I have a yearning to be bold
I had a friend
Who always used to buck me

I think I have forgotten thee
But I have those memories
I had a friend
Who can never be replaced

I want to be happy
But I have been happier
I had a friend
Who always made it merrier

I want to be different
But I am afraid of change
I had a friend
Who accepted me as I am

I wanted to go long
But I was afraid to be short
I had a friend
Who had faith in me

I believe I have everything
But I have one lost feeling
I had a friend
Who was always with me

I wanted to be loved
But I was always resented
I had a friend
Who was always there to love me

I knew I had a twin
But I only found me alone
I had a friend
Who was always my shadow
