A Diamond is Forever

Sometimes I didn't understand

how I could love you so much.

But you were there to hold my hand

my everlasting crutch.

 

Sometimes life made me cry

but you were there to hold me,

refused to let my spirit die.

Kept me laughing and made me see

 

That our friendship was something beautiful

and our bond could never be severed.

Like mates to the soul

we were diamonds meant to last forever.

 

I will be there on your wedding day

silently objecting.

Because no one will be good enough to stay

or meet what I'm expecting.

 

Together we will grow old

and listen to every story

until all our secrets are all told.

And when our spirits begin to flee

 

And we draw near our last breath

I will always remember the times I shared with my

Best Friend. I will not fear death

and remember that this could never be goodbye.

 

And when I look back on my life I'll wonder

 

Why I didn't understand

how I could love you so much.

It was because you were there to hold my hand

and be my everlasting crutch.

I really like the title of your poem. I think it's fitting.
I like the line
"Sometimes life made me cry
but you were there to hold me,
refused to let my spirit die."
Good job!
