Goodbye, My Friend

Hopefully, not forever....


Here are a collection of poems and quotes for today.

WE ONCE WERE ONE© Manda
The day that we first met, in my mind I still see, you sitting in the lunch room, looking for some company.I alone myself, sat down with you that day, neither of us knowing what the hell to say.But we got through the awkward times, and quickly came to be,the best of friends to each other, we could ever be.The closer we grew, the more we left, the other world behind,just me and you we jumped into a new place totally blind.We prayed together our friendship forever, and always would stay the same,but time has passed, only memories last, and little friendship remains.WE ONCE WERE ONE! I screamed at you, I want my best friend back!But we both realized at once it was that bond we lacked.You think it doesn't hurt me, to see us back to two, looking to my left and right to see there is no you.But we both are moving on now, lets do it gracefully, I hope our friendship still lives on in you memory.





FRIENDSHIPS LOST(Scars That Can Never Heal)© 1996 Bronwyn P

I see your smile

I know your mind

No words need be said

I understand.

We listen and we care

Laughter ripples like water

Together, we are.

Others are here, yes,

And we value them, yes,

But a special bond remains,

A line between us two.

Each friendship is special

Each is unique

And so is ours

We know.

And then time begins to roll and rear it’s ugly head

Change begins

Now a little less than before.

Slowly, surely,

Not knowing why

Faster, stronger, without care

Our world shifts and shimmers and splits.

Shattered shards cascade down

Spurred by angry, lashing words

Contorted faces, stone deaf ears

Outside the whirlwind,

We die inside.


The scars run deep

Jagged clefts in our souls

We have suceeded in hurting

And hurt ourselves.

We keep on living

Turn our faces apart.

New friends, new life.

Laughter, smiling (clenched teeth)

The flippant toss of the head

The enclosure surrounds you

And I cry inside

Tears deep within my soul

What we had once

We can never have again.

The scars run deep,

But I still care.

You were my friend.





Friends Forever© Mariah Hinshaw

We will be friends forever Amigos, buddies, pals

Where you are, I’ll be

No matter how many miles

We will be friends forever

No matter how many mistakes you or I make

Because as long we are friends

There’s nothing we couldn’t take

We will be friends forever

No matter where we’ll be

Because when we leave one another behind

You’ll be in the heart of me

We will be friends forever

No matter how old we are

Because when you’re friends forever

You’ll never be too far






ARE YOU MY FRIEND?© James Brinkworth
Will you be there when I'm down,

And catch me when I fall?

Will you hold me when I need

To feel the warmth of your touch?
Will you laugh when I laugh,

And cry when I cry?

Will you let me rant and rave,

When I need to let off steam?
Will you discuss those painful things,

That you'd rather not think about?

Like the times we've hurt each other,

And promised would never do so again?
Will you say the right thing,

When all I've heard is the wrong?

And tell me soothing words,

That make the pain I feel subside?
Will you understand me when I say,

"I can't see you now, go away"?

Will you come back when I call,

As if nothing happened at all?
If you'll do these things for me,

And keep smiling all the way.

If you'll be with me through the bad times,

As well as the good.
Then truly you are my friend,

My pal, my mate and my confidante.

And that means so much to me.

I thank you dearly, for being there,You,

My Friend.
