I'm sad for what he did
all those years ago
I'm sad that I didn't tell him
that I didn't love him so
Every day he and I spent together
having fun on the playground
I never wanted our friendship to end
our fun made my world spin around
A few years ago
I was mingling in my shady grove
I saw him coming down the down the street
and I ran to meet him on the road
I smiled at him
he stared at me cautiously
We stood there for what seemed a million years
and then he sighed and began quickly
"I can't stop thinking about you."
he said with a troubled voice
It was then my turn to stare
as he waited for me to rejoice
I didnt know how to react
as he waited for an answer
"I don't to what to say" I said
and that wasn't a lie either
He told me that he loved me
and then he slowly walked back the way he came
I stared after him with tearful eyes
our friendship would never be the same
The past few days were tourments of thinking
I thought of him every moment, it's true
And I couldnt believe myself
as I realized I really loved him too
As the months of joy flew by
the extreme love I had seemed to fade
and I suddenly came to my senses
And I hated the silly trouble I had made
We slowly drew apart
until we didn't hang out at all
I knew our friendship had disappeared
And now only some of it I can recall
Author notes
When I was in 5th grade my best friend told me that he wanted to be more then friends. I didnt like the idea, and things have been awkard between us ever since

Wow!!!
This is perfect, usually I prefer shorter snappier poems but I really enjoyed the story unraveling in this! Good luck, I'll keep you posted!

Wow, I'm sorry this had to happen to you! I know sort of what you mean here. You wrote the poem really really well though! I could really tell what was going on and everything. One thing is that I didn't notice it rhymed until about the middle. The first two lines were good, but road & grove don't rhyme and quickly & cautiously don't rhyme. But other than that it was an awesome awesome poem and I loved reading it!
