I sat by the door alone,
Hoping you would call and I’d hear your voice.
You promised to give you friendship for eternity,
be by my side forever.

I lent you my ears to whisper your secrets.
When tears started to roll down your cheeks,
I comforted you with laughter.
When your heart was broken,
I amended it with a happy ending romance.
When you were lonely, I supported you with my presence daily.

Now that I have found someone for myself,
you want to keep me prisoner.
Now that I am happy, you turn to blackmail.
Now that I am a happily married man,
you’ve turned into a stalker.
You want to own and possess me.

You’ve forgotten that I never abandoned you.
I still stuck to my promises of being there
when ever you needed me.
But I have an obligation towards my wife.
You have become bitter and jealous.
I keep wondering what it is that you want from me.

Insults, if they came my way I would tolerate them,
but with my wife, you have crossed the boundary.
This is where it ends.
Most of my life, I had confused you with happiness
and neglected myself in that process.

I Just wanted to let you know for old friendship’s sake
that this little Catherine, my daughter, has your lips.
Know that I loved your good bye.
