A History Was Laid to Rest

A follow-up to "Lost a Friend Today," I no longer think it. I know it.
I lost a friend that day, indeed
Even though I laid a chance
To make amends, for our old creed
She did not sway her current stance

I was tired of waiting for my old friend
And more news had brought more hate
So then I knew that I would end
The friendship that had been in debate

She said she wouldn't play on my terms
And that she'd come when she was ready
I was the one who was angry and firm
For our friendship, these words were deadly

I wanted to wait and play by her rules
Since she'd turned this into a game
But I was sick of waiting to duel
So then I went and deleted her name

It wasn't mature, not at all
But it was all that I could do
Plus I'm sure she got my call
The nice little, "Well then, fuck you."

I know I didn't go about this the best
I know I made mistakes too
But I was willing to attest
That our friendship would pull through

Turns out I was wrong, she never came
And I got sick of waiting
Now she will claim that I'm to blame
And she will keep on hating

Now I sit and steel myself
Lock old emotions away
I wanted my friend, nothing else
But she must've seen it another way

I lost a friend that day, indeed
One of my oldest and best
But signs of caution she did not heed
Now our history was laid to rest
