An Unforgettable Friendship


Friends shouldn't have to say good~bye,
you had some things to say and so did I.
We did lots of things together and yes we did have fun,
like going to the beach and playing in the sun.

Friends wouldn't have to say good~bye,
all I ask myself is why?
All the memories both good and bad,
looking back it makes me feel so sad.

Friends don't have to say good~bye,
but the things you said make me want to cry.
We grew up together doing lots of things,
But soon enough I felt like a puppet while you were playing with my strings.

Friends can't say good~bye,
while thinking back on you and I.
You were my trusted friend,
on you I thought I could depend.

Friends do sometimes say good~bye,
so wipe your tears and dry your eyes.

I could've sworn I replied to this poem. Oh wellers guess I'm a dork. lol   This is very sad, Im sorry you've had to go through this. I know how it is to lose a best friend. But everything usually works out for the best. Keep your head up! Love ALways~*~Jessica~*~

How I missed this I have no idea.  I do remember reading it though.  Must only be deja vu.....Sorry to say this Erin, but friends do say goodbye.  Only real friends stay together.  And it's pretty hard to find one.

I hate saying good-bye to good friends. Change can be soooooo hard to deal with. Especially when you grow apart from a best friend, you know you should let go but  you really dont want to. Your poem was great...it brought reality to the ending of friendships...the unfortunate reality that is. But you expressed it amazingly. Great job! I loved the poem =o)

This poem almost had me in tears. I know how it is to lose a best friend. I just lost one of my best friends I've ever had. And I still don't know how to deal w/ it. Sometimes it feels like a bad dream I am just waiting to wake up from. Well sorry for rambling. Great poem, I loved it. Keep writing, I look forward to reading more from you.

Much Luv,

yeah, i hate losing friends too.  But since I want to see it as an optimistic thing (i dunno, i'm not even in a good mood today either, but i just had this thought...) I will give my opinion that you're not losing a friend, you're making room for a closer one.  ok, now that I typed it, it seems not as good as when I thought it, but I don't want to go back and erase it.  But anyway, good poem, it really got your feelings across to me!

To all that replied...This was the 1st poem I ever wrote...And at the time it was just for a class assignment...But about 2 months later I lost 2 of my best friends because I was being stubborn...But then after months of not talking we became friends again...Thank you all for taking the time out to read and respond to my poem...I really appreciate it!!!
