(no subject)
Well my friend showed me this poem two days ago when I talked to him about my friend problems...
Amazingly he had somewhat similar problems about a month ago. Older friends rock.
Well back to me...
A lot,in fact most,of the poem really appeals and heavily relates to me...
Too bad Jenny never looks at my journal...
Dearest~
My friends were true,
However few,
But that was fine by me
They gave my life something;
Some sort of meaning.
A certain source,
A base to build upon;
To have my castle on,
A case in which my heart was stored.
But, they came and went,
Something's missing,
That one last piece
To make this puzzle complete.
And then you came
And life became
A whole lot easier on me,
The times we shared, I had adored.
All that and more...
And now it's gone.
Oh, something's wrong,
You're not here.
I never used to cry at all,
Now I can't stop all these tears.
The greatest friend,
I ever had in years;
You came and then you went,
Exactly what I feared...
And now you're gone.
My friends were few,
And you stayed true,
Remember all the aimless walks?
Remember all the silly talks?
Oh, those times were ours,
They're worth the pain
I go through each and every day,
Every minute of every hour.
Oh, something's wrong,
You're not here.
I never used to cry at all,
Now I can't stop all these tears.
The greatest friend,
I ever had in years;
You came and then you went,
Exactly what I feared.
And now... you're...
Gone...
Life is like a game you play.
You lose so much, but still you gain,
Now it seems that I can't gain,
Everything's been taken away...
...But no it hasn't,
It's still right here...
All these memories,
I'll always hold so dear.
You're still inside,
I can tell;
'Cause every time I think of you,
My heart just starts to swell.
So nothing's wrong,
You're still near.
But it's fine to cry sometimes,
Because you're not standing right here.
You were the greatest friend
I ever had in years,
And you still are,
So, I won't fear...
I'll hold you forever dear.
