Our friendship was the strongest,
the most trustworthy, fun, and the best.
But that one simple thing came between us,
and our friendship was laid to rest.

We kept no secrets from each other,
everything you know, I know too.
We shared every idea we had,
and most things I did you'd wanna do.

It was almost like we were sisters,
No matter what happened, the other was there.
And when the times got rough,
we knew the other would care.

And then our friendship disappeared,
when I wrote you a simple note.
I didn't know it would hurt you so,
and our friendship sailed away on a boat.

We didn't talk for a long time,
and we never hang out together.
There's so many things we should've talked out,
but no, we would'nt help each other.

I did not know you would be so upset,
I thought you'd understand.
We were gonna be best friends forever,
you know, that was out plan.

In more than one way I feel it's my fault,
but somehow I feel that it's yours.
You just left me sitting all alone,
and shut all your friendship doors.

I've been abandoned before,
by my friends and my dad.
But you were the friend I needed,
the one I never really had.

What happened that made us leave,
and move so far apart?
Was it something big like a knife,
or as little as a dart?

Why do friends become enemies?
Because they tell the truth or 'cuz they lie?
I know nothing should come between friends,
especially NOT a guy!!!

This is about my ex-best friend i guess you could say.  We liked the same guy and she could'nt handle it so she ran and hated me for a long time.  It's been over a year now and we still talk but we'll never be close again.

It's interesting how strong friendships can be ended on the simplest of issues.  And when it comes to boyfriends and girlfriends, there is a whole new set of rules.
~~nice writing~~

There are somethings that some people just can't handle. Unfortunately it happens all to often. I am sorry it happened to you but you will find someone to share yourself with again.

Welcome to the family.  




 When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face...

William Butler Yeats

This might be a little silly now, but don't let guys come between friends, especially best friends...

Plus, guys are jerks, trust me.  I have been one for 16 years!

It always hurts to lose a friend, especally such a close one, but if something like that would make her leave, she wasn't going to stick around for long, anyway. Good job on the poem.

Guys are never worth fighting over. Your true freinds will realize this eventually.
