Best Friends Forever

I was reading a sad story and this came to mind

 

We promised forever

As we laughed together

Splashing playfully in the cool running stream. 

But that seems so long ago.

 

We said nothing could ever

Break us.

We wouldn’t be split by something stupid

Like arguments and such.

 

We sat together

Dreaming of lives we’d never have

As we looked

Up into the stars.

 

We ran forever

Until we could run no more

And we collapsed.

Smiling all along.

 

We promised we’d never

Forget the stupid promises

Meant to be

Broken.

 

We grew together

But we seemed to grow

Farther and farther

Apart.

 

Now it seems like we never

Sat under the stars

Hand in hand

As we said best friends forever.

I really like this poem becuase I think many people can relate to it- almost everyone has had a really great friend and sworn that they would always be friends, and then they slowly grew apart. that's one reason why its so good- people can connect to it and understand the feelings you put forth. I liked it, in case you couldn't tell. As usual with your poems, its sad, but the best poems are like that- ones that don't make you feel anything aren't very memorable.
