I'll remember for the both of us.

Mouth open, gaping
     And the smell wafts my way
I found you
  Motionless, breathless
      Dead on your mothers
Favourite rug.

Remember when
   We would wander in the meadow
Searching for the four leaf clovers
   So we could make a wish
We wished for happiness.

The smell of your decomposing body
     Was nauseating
  It was permeating through
The entire room
               I wanted to get out of there
But I could never leave you
  In your time of need.

Remember the winter nights
   We would snuggle in my bed
Under my green duvet
      Or sitting around
Drinking our hot chocolate
   That would burn our tongues

You are my best friend
       And even though your suicide
  Was a huge shock to me,
     And to everyone who knew you

I’ll never forget the dimples
           In your cheeks when you smiled
Or the way your hair would
       Flow with the wind
The time when we both were convinced
       That love lasts forever
That divorce doesn’t exist
           That no matter what
We would be friends forever.

Awesome poem!
It's very down to earth and touching while being personal too. I don't know a hell of a lot about poems, but I thought it had good flow and a great use of words. :)

That love lasts forever"
