What Next?

Four years of high school,
Four years of friendship.
What will happen now
As those years are ending?

Will we stick together
Like we said we would?
Or in the end will we part
Only to occassionally meet?

I'm scared to admit it
But I do not have an answer
To all of these questions
That are swimming in my head.

I may not know what's coming next.
But I'm sure of one thing,
If I can keep us together
I will by any means necessary.

I can only hope that you will too
Because no matter how hard I try
I can't keep us as us
Without both me and you

    I can relate, I just finished secondary school and it seems like my friends are scattering to the four corners of the country. Hope things work out for both of us.
    This is a nice poem, I'm sure they get the message.

    Nice sentiments

    But not my style of poetry. I would try to offer constructive criticism but I do not understand free verse

    When I left school, along time ago
    Things were so different, life rather slow
    Some of my friends I have not seen again
    With others I find that the friendships remain
    New friends at college, at work, or the pub
    Mean that all through your life you belong to a club
    So remember, look forward, and remember the past
    And go on to new challenges, but don't go too fast!

    This is cute

    My first impression is this is a cute poem and you would be a good friend to have. I can feel your wish to keep things as they are. This is easy to read and as such is not awkward. I wouldn't change any thing about it. I liked all of it, it is all good. The title is just right for this poem and the first line sets the tone very well. The last line couldn't be better. A very nice poem I enjoyed it very much.
