Remembering When I remember when we first met, Out on the playground, Me in my skirt, my hair slightly unkempt, Monkey bars and merry go round. Going around as fast as we could, Laughing and smiling, It all seemed so good. We sat through services, Bored out of our minds, Passing notes and giggling, Often almost getting kicked out on our behinds. We got older, Spent time partying together, You were the shoulder, I would cry on when the storms of life became too much to weather. Eventually we parted ways, And though I thought about you, I let you go, Why? I don’t really know . . . There were nights I’d lay in bed thinking, About all the times we had together, laughing or drinking, About the hugs we’d share, Small remembrances of a lifetime before. I found you the other day, And seeing you was like coming home. To a place where life was simpler, And it was of to cry when you were scared. So sad I’ve only begun to find you, Just as it’s time to say goodbye. Not ready to let you go again, It seems as if this is a battle that’s impossible to win. -- Crystal Ryan When a door closes, another door of oppurtunity opens. The only problem is that most of us are so busy looking at the closed door that we fail to see |

Very beautiful, and something I can definitely relate to. Brought back some wonderful memories; keep your head up. Kittie |

Kittie -- Yeah, this was written to a guy who was at one point my best friend for five years. He left for the Navy and we completely lost touch. As karma would have it, I ran into his mom a couple of weeks ago and she gave me his address Too bad OI'm leaving town in three weeks. Crystal When a door closes, another door of oppurtunity opens.

well i am sorry to hear what happened...i lost all my "friends" when i got into a fight with one of them...when me and her started talking again my "friends" were my "friends" again...i think that you should write this guy a letter just to say hi though...even if you are leaving... ~IF YOU WANT SOMETHING VERY BADLY~SET IT FREE~IF IT COMES BACK TO YOU~ITS YOURS FOREVER~IF IT DOESNT IT WAS NEVER YOURS TO BEGIN WITH~ |

Erin -- Actually I did write the guy a letter. We hung out yesterday and are hanging out again tonight. I'm actually going to give him this poem tonight. I think it's great that we caught up before I left, but it hurts to know that we lost so much time together. I suppose I should be happy for what time I've been given though. Love, Crystal |

Last year, my best friend of 20 years went into the Navy and I've only seen him a few times since. I havn't seen him in 6 months and after I seem him for a few days this week, it'll probably be a few years before I do again...it kinda sucks. Anywhoo, how's school going. I'm sorry I haven't been in touch much lately, I haven't been getting on the puter much. if you wanna give me a ring sometime (before 3p.m.), my phn# is (815)941-2265. later Jeremy "Time is the matter, and in a matter of that all wounds will heal and all scars shall fade." |

Jason -- It kind of hurts that as you reach adulthood you lose touch with the people who you once needed the most. I suppose that's just the sad facts of life though. Salooma -- You're right, keeping in touch is definently important. I don't intend to let myself lose him again!! IsGona -- Thanks for the reply, I am, keeping my head up that is. Jeremy -- Where you been? I missed talking to you! How are you and how's Kristin? As for the Navy thing, thanks for sympathising. Trust me, this whole growing up thing sucks. |
