desiderata

otherwise

I know

That you thought

You'd never hear from me

Again

But you'd promised me

You'd always be my friend

I've tried to talk

But I get nothing in return

Just static

And an empty promise

I know

That you probably

Want to forget everything

We ever had

If that's what you want

I respect it

But empty silence

Can't tell me anything

I only wanted to

Retain a friendship

But you apparently thought

Otherwise
