i remember you

in my dreams at night
i see your smiling face
wishing it was real
and not in this fogged up memory space

i see your blue eyes
gazing at me
wishing they were real
wishing they were all i could see

when i wake up
i know it was a dream
and i realized what it was
was not what it had seemed

i remember you
each and everyday
remembering the laughs
and your crazy ways

my heart aches for you
now that you are gone
i just keep your memory alive
so i can move on

i know it is hard
my i remember you
every flaw
and every good thing you do

i here you in my mind
telling me to go on
i feel you in my heart
to keep me feeling strong

in my mind
you are always here
but in others
you are not held dear

i keep you with me
so i can move on
i remember you
so i can live strong

my feelings for you
have still lasted this long
i cant let go of you
you are what keeps me strong

i remember you
i feel that is all i can say
i feel you with me
every single day

i remember you
from now until my end
i will remember you
my dearest and sweetest friend

Author notes

this poem is for my friend chris, he committed suicide a few years ago and i am still beat up about it. i wrote this because i felt like by writing this he would understand somehow that he will live on through me and everything we did had an impact on my life and how i am. i had strong feelings for him and that is why i was so crushed when he died.

    Grieving takes time to work through and some take longer than others. Sounds as if you still really miss this friend, and writing like this is a good way to help let it out. Journalling is also a good idea - every day write these feelings out and one day you will find they are not so severe, and one day you will be able to move on. Your sentiments wellk expressed in these lines - liked the flow, the brevity of the lines. Easy to read and understand how you are feeling . Keep writing.

    This was very beautifully written...

    "my feelings for you
    have still lasted this long
    i cant let go of you
    you are what keeps me strong "

    This was my favorite part....it made me think of the dear ones in my heart, and what life would be like without them...Good job and good luck.
