My Poems: The Story of Your Life? [Completed]

Goodbyes

"Goodbye to the memories. Goodbye to the dream." -Unknown

Do you remember staring into the night,

Counting each star in the sky?

It was our last summer together,

I thought we'd never say goodbye.

It's been nearly 3 years since that day,

And I know that I'll never forget you,

We had our ups and our downs,

And we needed to say adieu.

I hate to say I called you a best friend,

But we were so close; practically parallel.

Until you broke my heart and tore me down,

I knew we'd soon have to say farewell.

I trusted you with every secret and hope,

I even sung you our very own song,

But you blocked your ears and shoved me out,

It doesn't hurt me to say "so long".

It's 2 years today since "I never want to see you again",

And those words still sting, even now,

But the sting will go away soon,

Replaced with a lightweight ciao.

Although I don't want to see your face,

Somedays I remember what we've been through,

And how we could have figured things out,

But, instead, we said "see you".

There are times where I can't believe we don't speak,

And I think "how did we get so low?"

But it was time to move on and forget,

I've got to accept, there won't be another time to say "hello".

Lost friendships, broken hearts, tears of hate,

Maybe we should never have said goodbye:

"Find our friendship, mend our hearts, wipe away tears,"

That's what we promised under our night sky.

A/N: A poem for a lost friendship that I think about everyday even though it was years ago. I still remember you, even though I don't see you anymore. There are times when I hope you're going to meet me after school, but what you did to me was wrong and now I can no longer trust people fully. I doubt you remember that day in the summer at the campsite where we stayed up all night counting the stars, but I do. I'll never let go of our memory until the day I die, and everything we did together. This poem is dedicated to the Friend That I Remember, not the Friend That You Are Now. It's also to everyone who's said goodbye to people they want to see everyday, but deep down know it's the right thing to do. Thank you for reading.
