Because I Knew You

Many people come into our lives
Leaving their imprints with us
They come and go all the time
Yet we will always remember them

They teach us different things
And we learn from them
They help us grow up,
Making us a better person

Because I knew you,
I have become a better person
And I have been changed
For good

Although we may never meet again,
I want to let you know
You have influenced me greatly
And you'll always be with me,
Like I could ever forget you

What ever way my life goes
You have helped me achieve it
Simply by being my friend

We've had our arguments
I want to apologize
For all the things I've done
Yet we share the blame,
But none of it matters anymore

Because you were my friend
I believe I was changed
And it was for the better
Since I have known you
I've changed for good

Author notes

I'm using For Good, since i LOVE that song!! Its just so... idk. My school choir sung that at my Graduation, so its kind of special to me.

    Though th emotion is the strongest part of the piece, the words you use to convey it seemed cliched (for lack of a better word). Also, freeverse poems look so much better if they are left aligned. Thank you for entering, hope you understand me removing your piece.
