I wrote this for my best friend, the day I found out she was moving away because of family issues. We hadn't been close friends for long, but she's done more for me then anyone else ever has. I really miss her, even though we still talk.

Casey

I stare in shock
watching words appear on the screen in front of me
not wanting to believe them.

I want to be beside you,
to comfort you.

You tell me you don’t know what to do
and oh, I want to help you.
But I don’t know either.

I want to be wise.
I want to ease your agony.

You tell me you don’t want to face it,
you don’t want to go home.
And all I can do is say, I’m here for you.

And tears fill my eyes.
You say you’re holding back tears too.

And all I can do is tell you I’ll miss you,
tell you I’ll never forget you.
Cherish the memories that I have,
over a time cut far too short.
Savor the last moments before you disappear.

You’ve given me far more
than you’ll ever know
and I shall never forget you.

I understand where this poem is coming from completely.It's a hard poem to read, because of how sad it must be for you, but it's a beautiful poem telling of friendship too. Thanks for sharing this piece

I remember 30 years ago telling the girl who had been my best friend for nearly 5 years that I was moving 300 miles away... it was horrible. I don't think I've ever cried so much in my entire life! But here we are 35 years later, still best friends. She lives about  1 1/2 hours away now and we get to see each other a few times a year.
Whatever you do, try not to lose touch with your friend. You won't regret it. And, if you haven't already, send her a copy of your poem. It's lovely, and years from now, you will both still read it and remember how much you care about each other.

Really, a lovely piece of writing. Good luck to both of you~~
