I named a poem after you
Thought it would help the healing
Start the stopping
Of all the pain I feel
Its been three years, maybe four
I'm so full of regret, nostalgia, agony
But you've blocked me out and moved on from
All the things you did to me
All the things I did to you
I guess I'm stuck
I blame myself for what I should have said
Would have done
Could have been...better
No words could bring you back into my life
No gestures could overcome the chasm I crafted
No pleading would open your heart to me
No sacrifice can undo my mistakes
I'm hopeful we could reconnect someday
I have no reason to hope
I think it keeps me sane
Helps me cope with the errors I made as a teenager
I threw you away, didn't I?
I run the words "I'm sorry" over my lips
Across the folds of my brain and to my fingers
There's so much depth to those words for me
Yet if they ever reached you they'd never be enough
The more time that passes the more I miss you
I could have saved our friendship years ago
But now you're truly gone
If I tried to contact you I'd be a stalker
Creepy, restraining order worthy
You'd block me immediately anyway
My words will never reach you.
You were amazing.

You have written so many poems! That's great and I struggle to write one...
Whatever, here to review your work. I could feel your feelings through the poem. What love is! Words really can't reach to the height of a great man although many times the words are what that make a man popular or worthy. It is really impossible for someone to forget a person whom the person admired. The pain increases day by day as your memories are recalled by you... I hope you have healed.
This is great. Keep writing. It was a great read.
Bye

I feel for you. Wether it was a friendship or breakup, and no matter the circumstances losing someone you care deeply about always hurt, and the feeling of missing them will always linger. You will wish and wonder what you could've done differently, and you convey your emotions beautifully throughout the poem.
I hope that one day you'll able to talk to them again, and maybe, just maybe start over. Like I also wish I could.
