Diving Deep

We started out fine,

like kids testing out waters.

dipping our toes

into the precarious pool ahead

then together, as it seemed

our friendship took the plunge

diving deep, destiny.

Before long the other person came along

I wished you happiness

couldn't have wanted more

for this friend who has shown

himself to be best

Slowly like wood upon the sea

we drifted,

Our friendship took the plunge

diving deep, drowned.

Before long you brushed me aside

It was alright until you came

and told me that I should stand one side

away from your life, and hers.

I still wish you happiness

and pray that the future

for us might exist

Not like wood upon the sea

unstable and drowned.

But once again as kids

in that once precarious pool

Diving deep but delight

in what I hope might be,

our Destiny.
