My Dear Friend

I wrote this poem again during Earth Science after the second part of our test and it's about my best friend, Paige.

I've always felt,

That I was just passing through,

I didn't have a purpose,

Until the day I met you.

 

You opened my eyes,

To all of the possibilities,

Thank you for teaching me,

That all I had to do was look and see.

 

You are not a boyfriend,

Although I'll love you till the end,

You are someone very dear to me,

You are my best friend.

 

I never knew true friendship,

Before I knew you,

You've given me so much,

I look up and the sky is always clear blue.

 

Throughout all of my,

Obsessions and crushes,

You just stood there and listened,
We even shared lunches.

 

The future is coming,

Whether we like it or not,

So let's be prepared,

Oh dear friend, forget me not.

 

Our lives change,

With every breath we take,

We learn from each other,

And all of our mistakes.

 

People grow and change,

Situations become different,

But I'll always have that memory,

Of us laughing at "Atonement".

 

High school is almost over,

We're all going to move away,

But let me take your hand,

And together we'll find a way.

 

Let's walk along the trail,

Eat pizza at the cafe,

Chase down the ice cream truck,

Call each other and say, "Hey!!!!".

 

With all of these changes,

We might not make it to the end,

If so, my sister,

Will you think about me every now and then?

The girl in the pink is the friend I wrote about. The other girl is me. This photo was taken 2 years back. Also, she is not really my sister, but I love her like one!

A great picture, you guys hanging at the beach and a great tribute to your best friend. Stephen King said, "We never have friends again in life like the ones we have when we're twelve." But I think he could have extended that through the adolescent years as well. My best friends that lasted a life time I met in grade school or high school and we still keep in touch. I enjoyed this sentimental moment.

This is so heart touching and such a passionate writing!
I can really relate myself with it....I have all of my best friends who were there with me from school, and not in the college.
Life goes on but somewhere deep within our hearts, we always remember our friends....
Great work!

You touched my heart with this one. Indeed, no price can ever be put on a true friend. May life be good to you and your dear sister always.
