The Balcony

This poem is dedicated to one of my best friends and an old part of my life.

 the balcony

 

We sat there everyday on that balcony

We watched clouds float by on a bright spring sky

We practicley melted on to the street below during the blistering summer heat

We welcomed the oranges yellows and reds of  fall

We even soaked up the wonderful winter chill

We talked about everything girls talked about in their  teen years

Our hearts stopped every time a car drove by thinking just thinking about who was the mystery driver

On that balcony we spent hours ,minutes ,seconds.....

We played card games and then made up new ones

We where so reckless

We didnt care about the time...

We forgot about there being a tommorow

But then one day for one reason or another you had to move

And then our friendship wasn't the same

We lost that glue that bonded us

But the funny thing is that you didnt leave the country

Or state

Or city

Not even our neighborhood

Although we rode the school bus together

and went to the same church

and you would come over for lunch

and I for dinner

 We rapidly  fell apart

The only thing that had held us together  was lost 

The balcony

A beautiful poem. Description and story was very good. It is sad we grow apart and separated sometime without knowing. A excellent poem. I like the days of balconies.

A lovely poem.
I really like the structure, it looks very appealing to read. And the narritive as a whole is deep and wonderful to read.
You have some really nice observational description about place and the weather, how things feel etc. Which is very impressive to read.
I like it, keep up the good work.
