The Best of Friends

Being crushed,
Being broken,
Being beaten down,

I can see
That no one cares
As I look around.

But you gave
Me back my strength
And my confidence,

And the world
Is starting to
Make a little sense.

There we were,
Just you and me,
A pair like no other.

Thought we'd never
Separate
As close as sister-brother.

But the day
Had come too soon
When I bid you goodbye,

And now a year
Has come and gone,
But I still know that I

Am still your friend,
And now I know
That we will meet again.

A team like us,
We're quite a sight,
But maybe, someday, when

We will have grown
And have to leave
And once more say good bye,

We'll look back on
Those memories

Of two kids playing
In the breeze,

I only hope
We still can be
The best friends...you and I.

Author notes

I wrote this when I became a freshman in high school because my best friend was still at the middle school and I missed him a lot.

    This is pretty good... a few things I see, but you showed how you felt and explained it well.

    This is a very good piece however the contest was about heart ache or betrayal. I loved the poem though and I know the feeling of losing a friend and moving on without them, it sucks.

      Oops...

      Sorry, I was a little confused about the purpose of the contest.
