My best friend has gone away
I hope to hear from him someday
He always made me laugh or smile
I haven't done that for awhile
It's not the same without him, no...
I don't know why he chose to go
Oh yes, he must know that I care
I'm looking for him everywhere
He always said delightful things...
the best that down-home humour brings
and when life made me sad or mad
he always helped me to be glad
My friend has reasons, I am sure
just one smile could be a cure
for missing him is daily drear...
I hope it doesn't last a year.
Author notes
Option #1 My friend always made me feel better whenever I had reason to feel bad.
And she will be loved.

Excellent read
Excellent job on this. At first it reminded me of couplets because of the rhyme, however you did such a great job that I realized that you wrote for rhythm and flow, not couplets. I like how everything flows so smoothly. Keep up the great work.

perfect!
i loved this poem! the flow was absolutely amazing, and the words were just...ah! i'm speechless! they were just that good!
one thing though, make sure you put "and she will be loved" in the a/n or i'll have to DQ you. i don't wanna do this! i absolutely love it!
thanks for entering and good luck!
