Some friends come and go
Then some just won't come
But others just won't go
True friends are one in a million
They are hard to find
And even harder to lose and forget
These are the ones who understand
Let you be yourself and don't judge you
They listen and offer advice when need
My best friend helped me through
We dealt with horrible things in our lives
Her-rape and me-molestation
She understood the hate, the pain, and the unwonted
I believed her when no one would, she made me feel loved
Many nights were spent talking and laughing
Though we did many stupid things
We did most of them together
To us, we were each others 'get out of jail free' card
She went off to college 200 miles away
I stayed here, got a job and going to a local college
But we still hang out and talk
I found my friend in the million
I would not replace her or lose her
Have you found your one in a million?

A little thing I put together for my best friend before she goes back to college

I like this poem. I find it is very true and that I, like many others, can relate. I like how you were able to pose the question at the end to make the reader think.

A wonderful question towards the end of your poem. It's true that only in true friendship you can tell the worth of it all. This is a very beautiful poem, to which I could relate, because i myself have a friend, and I know what he means to me.
Love and light,

I would just like to say that the friend I wrote this poem for, we are not on talking terms at the moment...She decided that she was going to tell a few of her drinking friends a really personal secret that I had told her. I caught her doing it and we fought. About ten minutes later she acted like nothing happened..we haven't spoken since.

Very true indeed...I loved the flow and the whole idea of this piece. I am sure your friend will love this piece if she hasn't read it already. Well done on writing such a captivating piece.
Keep writing
