We both thought we would be best friends forever. I never thought I would be writing this letter. We were best friends for 4 1/2 years. And now 4 years later I'm left with tears. Why didn't our friendship last? Why didn't we let things be our past? I never forgot about you over the years. I'll never forget all those happy years. I've never been ths same since then. But I'm trying to be that person again. When I heard what had happened I was in shock. I just stood there and did not talk. I thought, how could this be? I thought of all the joy you brought to your family. And now you're gone. And so many things had not been said or done. I wish I could see you for one last time. I wish I could hear your voice one last time. I'm left with all this pain and hurt inside. I want it to subside. I know the pain wont go away. I'll learn to bear with it from this day. You have been and always will be in my heart. You never left it from the start. I guess now it's time to say goodbye. I know I will see you again up high. Don't be afraid to be above. You will be an angel Laurie, spreading your endless love. Love you always. (written May 14 & 15, 2001)
Reason for writing:
I wrote this poem because I had a best friend that affected my heart twice, once when we were no longer friends and then when she died at the age of 18.
