You came from out of nowhere
And just as quickly you were gone
You touched my heart deep inside
And no longer was I alone

The days still come and go
Like they did before
But now there’s something missing
I’ve lost a friend once more

You listened without criticism
And judge me, you did not
You made me feel like someone
And for awhile, all my troubles I forgot

We used to know what the other was thinking
What she felt and what she dreamed
Now I’ve been left alone again to wonder
If everything was ever really what it seemed

You said you’d never hurt me
Knowing how hard for me it was to let you in
Now here I sit quietly
Determined to never let anyone in again

I know you have your reasons
But I just can’t understand
How it doesn’t bother you
That this friendship has come to an end

Maybe I’m wrong and you do care
Maybe more than I’ll ever know
But it doesn’t change the fact
That you’ll be absent from all of my tomorrows

I know I should be grateful
For what little time we’ve shared
Though I cannot help but wonder
Who will comfort me now when I get scared?

If but only for a moment
I could see your smiling face
All the pain and sorrow
In my heart, it would erase

You want me to be happy
But you are imbedded in my mind
So please help me understand
How to let go of what I never again will find

It is hard to understand how a situation can change in the blink of an eye.
Like so many things happen when we least expect them too.  Some people don't ever look back, or consider the damage done,  they just wipe the slate clean and move along.  

Good poem, and welcome to Passions sweetpea~

Hi Sweetpea,  welcome to Passions.  Love,
though so full of wonder,  sometimes is
cause of sadness and confusion.  Time heals
the heavy heart,  and life goes on...

And one day...a dream will come true.

I just want to thank all of you for such a warm welcome. I truly appreciate all of your kind words about my poem. This poem was the written last month and is the first one I have written since the 8th grade, which was several years ago. I was never very good at it until now and probably never would have started doing it if it weren't for the person I wrote this about. So for that, I thank her. Again, I thank all of you and look forward to posting more, as well as reading everyone's poetry.
