Sit down and listen, dearest friend, To this story I will tell. You know I've fallen in love with you, But you don't know how hard I fell. Why did this have to happen? Why me? Why here? Why now? I want to say I love you, But I just can't think of how. I've never known this feeling. I'm not sure what it means. Tell me, what's this feeling That has me falling apart at the seams? Why did it have to be you? Of all the people in the world? How was i supposed to know You belong to another girl? Maybe we'll be together someday, Though I don't know where or when. But, maybe someday in a while, I'll be seeing you again. But until then, my dearest friend, I will bid you farewell. I wish you luck with your true love, And I always wish you well. So, until the day we meet again, I'll hold you in my heart. So, even though you are not near, We'll never be apart. -Heather J.
Reason for writing:
this may take a while, so bear with me.
i wrote this poem for one of my best and closest friends in the world. i won't say his name, because he knows who he is. anyway, we went to school together ever since we were small. so i've known him for quite some time now. over the years, we went from hating each other, to being aquaintances, to being friends, to being like brother and sister. so, we've been through alot over these past few years.
but, when we were in the eighth grade, he started going out with one of my other best friends, Johanna. i was okay about it at first. but then, i started getting jealous. i didn't know why, all i knew was that i didn't want him to go out with her. it took me a while to realize that i had feelings for this person that went far beyond mere friendship. it took me quite a while to admit this to myself and allow myself to accept this fact. so, i decided that i should tell him how i felt. i never kept anything from him and i didn't want to start then. he understood where i was coming from, and respected my feelings. but, i was afraid of losing him as a friend, or worse losing Johanna as a friend. so, i decided to back down and let things go from there and to see how things turn out.
so, that's the story behind the poem. i sincerely hope you enjoy reading it. it is the first time i have ever published any of my work, and i will try to get some of my other stuff up on this site as well. feel free to send any comments on my poem to my email address. i'd greatly appreciate it. i accept all criticism. thank you for reading. ^_^
