Unique
You were so unique
The way you wore your hair
The way you seemed to stand tall
Like you didn't care
That everyone would stare
And make comments about your style
The way you used to smile
And laugh at all my jokes
I remember the way you used to walk
The fake accent you used when you talked
The way you held my hand
And made me understand
That two people can be just friends
But still have that love for each other
I still have those flowers you sent
About this time last year
Hanging upside-down from my mirror
Reminding me--that you're not here
Waves of sadness wash over me each time
Tears make my eyes glitter and shine
You were so much more than just a friend
Why?
All these questions in my mind
I never got to say good-bye
or hold your hand--one more time
Just like that...you were gone
I was all alone
I had never been without you before
I had never even had those thoughts
But the flowers that you bought
Remind me that you're no longer here
You were always so unique
Red roses would never do
Traditional things just weren't in you
White flowers were what you sent
And I knew exactly what they meant
We had a love so pure
How we got so lucky--of that, I am not sure
But white
Seemed to be...just right
When we held each other tight
Never reading more into the situation
We were the perfect best friend combination
And now that you're no longer here
The biggest thing I fear
Is that I will never again find
The bond that was yours and mine
But if that happens, I will be okay
Even though you couldn't stay
You taught me more than I'll ever realize
I saw the world in your eyes
And all the beauty that you possessed
Everything that you were worth
All the beauty on this earth
For anything that can grow white flowers
That will bring a smile to my face for eternity
Is just the place I want to be
Even though I can't be with you
The wilted, white flowers lie on the ground
The ones I brought over here yesterday
On the way home from school
I never used to pass by the cemetary
I miss you so much it hurts

This was beautiful. I am sorry for your loss though. You expressed yourself really well. I hope that you are able to move on now that you got some of your pain out.

I echo the rest. I think this poem rocked!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!
