លោកលី ប៉េង

My friend 

Whom I claimed

I loved. 

My friend

who loved me But

loved my best friend

more. 

I watched you 

watch her. 

A pang in my heart

every single time. 

I smiled when you smiled. 

But why did I not 

Stop 

and Turn back

when I saw your pained expression.

That day. 

I hated that day. 

I hated myself on that day. 

So much. 

"Bye"

You said 

With an expression

that made my heart drop. 

My pride stopped me. 

And yet I claimed that I loved you. 

I walked away from you that day

And that was the last time I saw you. 

Sorry. I am so sorry. 

I still love you and hate myself even more each day. 

Your smile in the pictures still make me melt.

The ice behind my eyes. 

Why did you have to leave

when I left? 

Please come back. 

No. This is retribution and a reward. 

Rest in peace, my dear friend.
