Best Friends Through The Years

For my best-est friends ever!! <3 you!!

We met in kindergarten.

We shared everything: our toys, crayons, and even a blanket at nap-time.

We were best friends, after only a day of knowing each other,

It was like we’d been together all our lives.

We made a promise that we’d always be friends the day we met.

And then we got older.

We went through elementary school together,

Still sticking together.

We’d hang out at recess and played on the same soccer team.

Then came middle school.

We weren’t in the same class,

But we still stay best friends,

Through crushes and fights.

You were my shoulder to cry on when my parents split,

And I was yours when your first boyfriend dumped you.

More time passed, and we started high school.

We had completely different schedules,

And after school was filled with swimming, dancing, tennis,

Theater, debate club, and so many other things.

We would get together as much as possible on the weekends,

But even if we couldn’t,

We were still best friends, through everything.

Now we’re about to graduate.

We’re going to go to different colleges,

And we’ll be hundreds of miles apart,

But we’ll still be best friends.

We’ll keep in touch as much as we can,

Emailing, texting, and calling.

And, sure, we’ll probably see each other when we come back home,

For long weekends and holidays.

And, we’ll miss each other of course.

But we made a promise so long ago,

That’d we always be friends no matter what.

And nothing is going to stand in our way of making that promise come true.

I'm not sure about the end of this. It seemed kinda...forced maybe? Please review with any advice/critisism/etc. that you have about this??? Thanks for reading!! <3

I do like this, however I would have a go at editing the end of it. But it is a really good write =D

"And nothing is going to stand in our way of making that promise come true."

i liked it! The ending was just what the poem needed! I thought you illustrated perfectly what all friends ultimately have to go through, but what they can make from it; a lasting relationship! I read my friend this and she thought it was good too!! :) Thanks for sharing

this poem is true to heart and whispers to the reader its testament
to caring and friendship and all that encompasses the bond between
those we hold close the heart and those that make us feel complete
and you have captured the feeling beautifully, convincing, and well written
an excellent job here :)

[Ian Faraway]

I enjoyed it, I sort of thought it was have a 'drifting relationship' type ending but it didn't and I was hooked by the second line. The different colors made it unique and fun to read too... good job.
