Dear Diary, -Sixth Grade
Today was my first day in a new school
Diary it was scary, But I was fine
This cute boy helped me out
He has the locker next to mine
I don't think he notices me though Diary
His name is Evan and I think he's so cool
I'm afraid to say more then two words to him though
He's so cute Diary, I don't wanna look like a fool
Dear Diary, -Seventh Grade
I worked up the courage finally to talk to Evan
And we're going to the movies tonight
Though he only asked me as a friend
It could turn into more Diary, right?
I don't know what I should wear
I mean it's not a real date
Oh darn gotta go Diary
I'm going to be late
Dear Diary, -Ninth Grade.
Well Diary I wish I wasn't such a chicken
And had the courage to ask Evan out
But I didn't and he's taking Ashley to the dance instead
Guess I'll just stay home and pout
He wants me to come over
And help him get ready
God Diary I think I'm gonna cry
Evan told me he's gonna ask Ashley to go steady
Dear Diary, -Eleventh Grade.
Well Diary, I am so Happy
Evan asked me to the Prom, and I said yes
I know it's just because I'm his best friend
But He's going to help me pick out my dress
I know he doesn't see me that way
And I know that I don't have a chance
But God Diary, I love him so
I plan to dance every dance
Dear Diary, -Graduation Day
Evan gave me a Graduation kiss
And we're celebrating later tonight
He wants to go to all the party's
I can tell it's gonna be a late night
I came home early Diary
Evan had tried to give me a lovers kiss
But I shrugged him off, I didn't want him to regret anything
Diary is it suppose to hurt like this
Dear Diary, -Two Years After Graduation.
Evan is getting married Diary
And no not to me
I should have told him how I felt
God Diary how can this be
He wants me to come to the wedding
And yes of course I'll go
I'm his best friend Diary
I cant tell him no
Dear Diary, -Four years after the divorce
My world came to an end today Diary
Evan was killed by a drunk driver
He was on his way to see me
But only the drunk was the survivor
I am sitting in the back pew writing this Diary
And I cant seem to stop the tears falling from my eyes
Diary my heart hurts so much
I didn't even get to say goodbye.
Dear Diary, -Two Days after the Funeral
Evan's mother sent me a package Diary
It came with a letter
She's says Evan would have wanted me to have it
Maybe Diary, It will make me feel a little better
I opened the package with shaky hands
It's his Diary she sent, and I know why
I open it up and began to read
Diary from page one I started to cry
Dear Diary, -Evan's Entries For Sixth Grade
I met the prettiest girl today Diary
And I helped her find her way
Her name is Katy and she has the locker next to mine
God Diary I was the luckiest boy today
I don't think she really notices me though Diary
I acted like a complete fool
She's quiet and shy
Man she's so darn cool
Dear Diary, -Evan's Entries For Seventh Grade.
Katy talked to me today Diary!
And I asked her to the movies for later tonight
I got scared though and said just as a friend
But maybe it will turn into more, right?
My mom thinks it's funny
That I'm going on my first date
She's driving us there
Shoot Diary got to go, don't wanna be late
Dear Diary, -Evan's Entries For Ninth Grade.
I don't think she notices me that way Diary
So I asked Ashley to the dance instead
God I really wanted to go with Katy
I'm looking forward to this dance with dread
I wanted to see if Katy got jealous
So I asked her to help me get ready
But she didn't even flinch or anything
When I told her I was asking Ashley to go steady
Dear Diary, -Evan's Entries For Eleventh Grade.
Well I worked up the courage to ask Katy to Prom
And Diary can you believe it she said yes!
I think she means only as friends though
So I am helping her pick out her dress
She looked so beautiful Diary
God I wish I stood a chance
But she doesn't see me as more then a friend
But at least with her I danced every dance
Dear Diary, -Evan's Entries For Graduation Day
Well I did it Diary, I am actually done
Me and Katy are celebrating later tonight
I plan to take her to all the party's
We're gonna make it a real late night
I finally found out how she feels
I gave her a lovers kind of kiss
But Diary she shrugged me off and left
Is it suppose to hurt like this?
Dear Diary, -Evan's Entries Two years after Graduation.
Well Diary I am getting married
Even though I don't love my future wife
She can never be Katy
But I understand now that Katy can never be in my life
Standing in front of the minister
My heart feels as though it broke apart
I will try to make this marriage work Diary
Even though I cant have the wife of my heart
Dear Diary, -Evan's last entries Four years after the divorce.
I have finally worked up the strength Diary
And I have called Katy to tell her I'm on my way
I told her I wish to speak to her
I plan on asking her to be my wife today
Diary it's either now or never
Even though it's quite late
I have to tell her tonight Diary
To tell her I love her, I got to go, I just cant wait...

This was just an amazing write. In many ways it is so true also the hole fear of not being able to tell that person how you felt because of fear they may not feel the same for you. This ended so sadly even had me tearing up a litte, Great write my friend.

I'm crying. I wonder all the time how Corey, the guy I knew in 2nd grade is doing. I wonder how in this world we have such horrid communication barriers. Makes me wonder how people can be so cruel to one another. We miss the good and the bad I suppose. But thinking about your poem which has a grate rhyming flow - I think it pushed a little with his side on occation - but god, it made me cry, I haven't cried over a poem in about a month. For me that's awhile. Strong. very strong.

AMAZIING

~Niki~ -
WHOA I love this ...its just soo beautiful Im going to forward it to some really good friends of mine. You did great with this poem Im very impressed
God bless you
Jackilyn -
Very Nice
These are awesome entries, and I am glad you shared it. You have a gift, and at that time in your life, you were blessed to be able to express it. -
this was so sad and so beautiful! i think so many people can relate to the feeling...and now we'll all wonder about our best friend/crush that we had back in the day. i really liked the approach of doing a diary entry for each year, it added an important element to the poem.
-
Wow. This was actually very interesting. I liked how it was in diary form but also told a story. Excellent job on this poem!
-
I have only been on AP a short time, but in the featured pieces I look at the biggest complaint is that a piece is too long to keep the readers interest. Normally that means it was not compelling enough to keep the reader from distraction. Then we turn to this piece which is featured and pretty darn long, hmmm..... not a complaint to be found. 'nuf said. RC
-
I loved the Dear diary approach it's a lengthy poem but, it keeps your attention. I think everyone has skeletons in the cupboard somewhere and this appeals to that side of people. Well written.
-
This is a very well done poem, great rhyme great job matching Evan's diary with Katy's. This is one to remind ourselves to live each day fully cause we never know, and to take a chance. better to have tried and failed then never have tried.I loved the begining:Today was my first day in a new school
Diary it was scary, But I was fine
This cute boy helped me out
He has the locker next to mine
I sure remember those days, and that cute boy the first day of high school.
Great job. -
Awe..it really was a cute poem. I like it!! You did really good, keep it up!
-
oh my goddess Eclipse!
you actually made me cry.
i am writing this with tears streaming down my face while everyone around me looks at me like i've gone insane.
this was so beautifully sad. it really hits a nerve and i can see people calling friends they havent spoken to in years because of this poem.
i have always loved my best friend T.J so i know how katy felt,it sucks,but its especially sad because she didint find out he felt the same untill it was too late.
i loved how it was a story but it was written in poem form.
i also loved how it was a diary,thats a new one for me to read,especiaslly a boy's diary
fantastic write
great job and good luck in the contest(althoguh i dont think you'll need it)
talk to you later
peace -
Holy crap I'm crying! This is a very moving piece...I guess it hits me a little because I actually sorta went through this (yes he did die.....but by his own choice) and I kept my feelings locked away when i should have come clean! If anything this poem let's everyone know that you just have to put all your thoughts aside and just do what feels right! So thanks for this and I'm glad I read this! Good Luck!!

excellent

kewl well maybe their souls will meet again however ive seen so many different versions of this sympathy type of thing that it doesnt impress e anymore, but yours was good
-
Sad & Lovely
Awwwww...that's very sad It would make a beautiful song, it reminds me of "Mountain of Love" by Johnny Rivers for some reason, or "Patches" by Bobby Vinton. Lives not lived fully. Thank you for a wonderful read.
-
Absolutely excellent! Wow!
-
excellent
absolutely EXCELLENT. nice work. think a lot of people will enjoy reading this piece. i know everyone i have shown it to today really enjoyed it...well done -
Wow...Very good...Good incentive to tell the special people how you feel...Great work!
-
Very good write. My only critical thought is the intense similarites between your poem and a "dear diary" unfortunate love story circulating the internet. But you had a great use of emotion and format.
Keep Writing! -
I think this is a very cute poem... I think I have heard it before well I like it
-
Excellent!!!
this is absolutely the first peice that has got my attention to the very end..ive been sitting on the edge of my chair to see whats happening next.. i cant tell you how amazing it is.. i am not kidding!!..im actually adding you to my favourites.. i loved it.. an A+ id give it..beautiful write..amongst the best iver ever come across..keep it coming!!cheers! -
This is really lengthy, but worth the read!
-
Very Good
That is so sad. It was really interesting too. Definately kept my attention through the whole thing, which doesn't happen often. I loved it. Good job on this. -
Excellent
Oh my god. This was really really good. I feel Like I can cry. Oh wow, this is amazing. It's so sad. I've lost a girlfriend to suicide so I know how it feels. I am so sorry.
Best of Luck

heartwreiching
OH MY FREAKING GOSH!!!!
i am covered in goose bumps. this is so somone i know. you just told so much of their life. though not knowing one another this long, he did die on his way to tell a girl how much he loved her. she was leaving her house to go find him when he died. four days earlier, she had told him no. this amazes me. though she is not 1000% positive it was her he was seeking, her heart says yes. WOW!!!
viyanna r langager
i keep thinking about this. it is odd. when the couple i told you about had this happen, i swore i would not endure this agony for i was that girl. here i am again. there is one i so very much like but i refuse to be the one to speak for fear of rejection. i feel like i am going to cry after thinking about this. wow!! you really got to me. yet, i so do not know what to do. sorry for bugging you like this, i just can not keep thinking about this.

WHOA!!!!
I can't even find the words to tell you how much this moved me. This was an amazing write and I wonder where your inspiration came from. This was unbelieveable, because it happens. So many people go through this, but aren't lucky enough to ever find out that there was something there for the other person as well. It gave me goosebumps reading it. I don't know what anyone else said because I was so eager to comment, but I am almost speachless. I can't find the words to tell you what a wonderful poem you've written. All I can say is you have my applause, a place in my favorites book( I print out the author pages and my favorite poems from select people), and a place on my favorites list. But there's one thing I don't understand...why isn't this in a contest???? Amazing...keep the ink flowing and I'll be checking in on you tomorrow! -
this is one of the most wonderful poems i have ever written. and like the others, it makes you teary eyed. absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
For one not prone to tears, this poem tugged at my heart strings. Love, longong, and friendship are woven together flawlessly with a healthy measure of tragedy. It has a great moral that speaks to everyone. Keep up the good work!
-
omg...its a beautiful write, showing both sides of the heart...wonderful my friend you have a great talent, dont let it go to waste.
Never give in
Never give up

BEAUTIFUL
Throught the whole thing I was lost for words, at the end, I swear my heart skipped a beat. Such a beautiful tragic loss. This is such a beautiful poem. I had to keep reading. This is really good stuff, and you know it. Please keep writing like this. I love this soooo much!!
thanks for writing this,
xox. -
How tragic - a real tear jerker, sould make a great movie. Still have my diary from high school - cute to read so m any years later and remember the days when I was young. Great write.
-
this has a romantic sad ending. i too found myself glued to the page as i read.
-
Dig it
I love that this is in diary form and I love how they match up. The world is an odd place and it wouldn't suprise me one little bit if this were true somewhere in history. The only thing I caught was in Evan's diary for nineth grade, third line "got" should be "God". Great stuff. -
Your flow was flawless, the story was flawless... this was so so so well done. It made my heart stop.. long poems usually cant carry me through as this one did, my eyes were glued onto the page. This was absolutely amazing
-
OMG!!!!!!!!! that made me cry then i read it to my twin and she cried...i don't know what to say...besides this is sooooo sad...i mean if this had happened to me i don't know what i would have done...that's why i tell people i like them if i do...it's something i do every time...and from reading this it's the best thing i can do...i loved this...i really did...great job...<3Anna
P.S. you had a few typos but they were over looked while reading this...i also just finished reading it to my little sis and she also cried...
