A Letter to a Friend

Surprisingly, you're part of the reason why I wasn't mad
When the girl I used to love betrayed and broke my heart.

Somehow, I suspected it would happen from the start,
but I wasn't mad because you were next to me from scratch.

Believe me or not, as you won't, I think of you for a long time,
Day and night and even when I dream you're by my side,
Smiling, laughing and talking to me as if we were one.

Take this as you please, but this is no love letter,
or, in a different perspective, maybe it is a bit better,
for it's a letter from a friend to his lovely mate, which, in truth
couldn't be any better than you.
