I'm extra emotional and sentimental these days. It's coming up on the one year anniversary of the demise of what was once a beautiful friendship. Or, a friendship gone bad. So, because this person has been on my mind lately, I wrote this. It's in Spanish but I tried my best to translate it. However, as you and I both know, something always gets lost in translation. Especially in the Spanish language. It's a very longing and sad piece. Full of melancholy. At any rate, here is the way I originally wrote it and below is the loosely translated version.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Todo Un Año..
Como
te hecho de menos
hace
casi un año que se de ti
que
escuche tu voz, por ultima vez
Las
lagrimas terminaron
pero
parte de mi corazon
sigue
basillo
Tu
ausencia me persigue hasta en mis sueños
Cuanto
te extraño
Eres
ya parte de mi pasado
Pero
nunca te olvidare
Bien
o mal
Siempre,
siempre te amare.

How
I miss you so!
It’s
been almost a year that I heard your voice
for
the last time
The
tears are long gone
but
part of my heart is still empty
Your
absence follows me
even
in my dreams
You
are now part of my past
But
I will never forget you
Good
or bad
I’ll
always, always love you

This kind of thing is SO difficult. It's hard when someone has been such a part of our life, even if they are not good for us in the long run. Meeting your feelings head on is really the healthiest way to go. You will eventually find that there is a place for your memories that is not so sad, a place where you can appreciate what was good and leave the rest.
My heart hurts for you. I know this pain. So sorry:(
Ladies: Thanks for your comments, I appreciate them. It's like I know this is the way it is supposed to be, but I miss this person still, very much. I think I always will.
Very sweet and sad poem, you certainly have a talent for capturing emotion through poetry, in any language!
Insomniac- Why, thank you kind sir!
Awww, I know exactly how you feel. I had a loss like that as well about 7 years ago. We did reconnect earlier this year, but it was never the same. I'm sad for you. Although I couldn't read the Spanish version, I bet it was so beautiful because the English version certainly was.
That's sweet, sad and beautiful, Yvonne. Big hugs to you, and thanks so much for your recent support and love. Sometimes life is hardest for us caring people.

very beautiful poem....
It's so painful when a friendship ends. I wonder if there's any chance you can reconnect with this person, maybe just on a small level? I do know how you feel because I've been there too. It's not easy. Hugs, my friend.
Robyn- Right back at ya! :)
Slyde- Thanks! Glad you liked it. How come every time I see your name I immediately start singing, "Slide, slide, slippity, slide..." ??? :)
Jennifer- Yes it is. It sucks actually. No, there is no chance. EVER. -Thanks for your words. :)
Sandra- Thanks lady! Can I just tell you that your blog makes me smile erry day. -Ok sometimes it makes me laugh so hard I start crying, but it's okay. ha!
