Three Special Words

written in middle school for a lost friend

My feelings for you are so strong, Though I have never told you the three most important words: I love you. I tried to tell you, But I was too weak, Too shy. I should have told you before it was too late; Opportunities can pass by. Mine did, Now you’re gone. You’ve gone to the world beyond; The world where you’re happy, But everyone you left behind is miserable. Now those three special words are left unsaid. Things will never be the same. I should have told you that I love you, I should have told you when I had the chance. I don’t have that chance anymore. I am unsure if you can hear me; I hope you can. I still need you; I’m lost without you. The three special words are now said: I love you; I love you with all my heart. I miss you; I’ll miss you forever, Forever and more.

That is such a sweet poem. My only critique is you might want to put it in stanzas, it make it flow better. over all a very sweet and touching poem. good job.
would you mind reading some of my work?

This is pretty, in a sad sort of way. Good work.
