A Girl in a Forgetful World

To My Friends (I Love You)

To my friends -

I may be gone in a few months,

And this poem is for you.

It's everything I want to say,

Everything I wish I had said,

And everything you need to hear.

Each of you is special,

And beautiful

And amazing

Because of this.

Dear friend,

Thank you for the laughs.

I love singing Sincerely, Me

In the hallway 

When we walk to class.

Thank you for letting me share secrets.

Thank you for being there

When no one else was.

You listened to my problems,

From A to Z,

Boys and depression,

Abuse and anxiety,

You listened.

Always.

Friend,

You are beautiful

And don't ever forget that.

You are hilarious,

Perfected by your imperfections,

And a great friend.

We have been through our ups and downs,

But look where we are now.

We're happy,

Smiling,

Laughing,

And free.

Isn't the bad worth it

When you see the good?

If I happen 

To leave this earth,

My friend,

Please don't forget me.

Keep living your life,

Keep being happy,

Keep remembering the good times.

Keep being you.

You are amazing.

Just because I'm gone,

Don't let that dampen your sunshine.

Friend,
