I've lost a great friend, I don't know why.
The sun, all of a sudden has left the sky.
I thought our friendship was forever strong.
Did I say or do something badly wrong?
We became close friends, had great times.
So, what went so wrong, I saw no signs?
For a while I didn't hear anything from you.
Until your message, came out of the blue.
I'm left all confused, feeling lost and upset.
But the friendship we had, I will never forget
The passing of the years, changing circumstances and other
factors in this life can all contribute to a loosening of the ties of
friendship. But if there is a sudden unexpected severing of
those ties, it becomes a somewhat different and harder to
accept situation. But the "message" should be accepted and
respected despite any painful proferred reason if it is clear
that it has occurred. As Kipling famously wrote (my recall)
If all men count with you but none too much...😐

That sounds very sad Mike.
For various reasons I became estranged from most of my school friends and family relations in my early teens and adulthood, which pains me greatly; but I count myself fortunate in that I still have close family and wonderful people who're the salt of the earth around me.
I wish you well.
