Saying Goodbye

This is a poem about how hard it is to say goodbye to your best friend...this really happened and the feelings are true.

 It was an October day and we all knew that this day was coming.

We had plans to hangout as much as we could before you left.

 

I had prayed God would do what's best for you and your family, and he did.

You cried when you said good bye to all your old friends and the life you had.

You wanted to go but you also wanted to stay.

 I gave you your goodbye gifts and told you not to open them until you were gone.

I gave you a hug not knowing when I would see you again.

I said my goodbyes as I watched you drive away.

Into the distance I wished you the best of happiness.

I love this poem...ironically...I had to say goodbye to my best friends in like the exact same way...funny ;) Its a good poem and you capture the feelings well...but some of it has choppy sentences and it doesn't flow all that great...with a bit of work it could be a really great poem :)
