Friend? by Michael Hopkins
What was, can be no more.
What could have been is now impossible.
The things I have waited for, for what seems like an eternity,
These things are now but a faded dream in the night.
Emotions that were strong and confusing, recently depleted,
Are now brought to the light again.
Feelings that were thought hidden
Are now in my face screaming to me--why?
All that my world was, has now come to a foreseen, yet unexpected end.
The things that I held dear and secretive to me
Have now become an uncovered shadow,
Forever I will hold dear to me, your memory and constant voice in my head
All you are and all you have given me--
I will hold close to my heart and guard these memories
With my life, for that's all I have of you now.
Because you said,
Forever, my friend .
What could have been is now impossible.
The things I have waited for, for what seems like an eternity,
These things are now but a faded dream in the night.
Emotions that were strong and confusing, recently depleted,
Are now brought to the light again.
Feelings that were thought hidden
Are now in my face screaming to me--why?
All that my world was, has now come to a foreseen, yet unexpected end.
The things that I held dear and secretive to me
Have now become an uncovered shadow,
Forever I will hold dear to me, your memory and constant voice in my head
All you are and all you have given me--
I will hold close to my heart and guard these memories
With my life, for that's all I have of you now.
Because you said,
Forever, my friend .

This poem was written about a close friend. We got really close and I wanted to go one step further. At this thought she quickly said the infamous line "We should just be friends" This is for all of you who have heard that line a bit too much

Michael hit the nail right on the head with his poem Friend? I had to let go of a friend who has said forever and I have to hold on to are memories close to my heart. This poem touch me profoundly. I could never put the right words together to describe how special our friendship was and will always be in my heart. Thanks, Micheal - Jackie |

well, everyone has heard those words, that are meant so affectionately or sometimes to deter your feelings that they have picked up on. This poem just describes the feelings, hearing it, feeling so deflated. - beth |
