New Friend

I reached for you,
despite the fears,
of getting hurt.
I lent my hand and in return
you gave me yours.
A new beginning
for a wonderful friendship.
we run from our past
tear streaked memories that haunt us still.
we reminisce
of times that used to be
so god damn perfect.
come back
to reality.
we just need to accept.
times change,
people change.
We don’t need people to love us,
We don’t need to conquer the world.
We just need to accept our flaws,
and love ourselves.
So before we get old,
and our laughter fades to black,
We hold each other and smile,
cause each other,
thats all we got.
