Friends

This is something I worte for my friend so she will never forget me and how much we have together.

I met you in 6th grade

I judged you first by your looks

Despite my judgement we began to braid

A friendship built over text books

A friendship full of love and laughter

Of sorrow and stupid arguments.

And by that summer and the years after,

Despite having no written documents,

We grew to be more like sisters.

We've spent sleepless nights talking forever

and hot summer days under the sun getting blisters.

All these days and moments I will remember

How much I love having you as a friend,

And I'll always wonder how we laughed so much.

No matter what lies around the bend,

I know we'll always keep in touch.

Girl I know you're leaving me on short notice,

And I know you will make new friends where you're going,

but you have to promise.

Promise me that you will never forget me

For I will never forget you.

Author's Note

I wrote this to a friend of mine. I'me going to put it on a plaque and give it to her as a going away present. She's moving in with her dad's gf. It's not that far, so I can still visit her, but it's going to be hard having to spen the next three years of high school without her.

It almost brought a tear to my eye, it's written very well. Favorite line: "We've spent sleepless nights talking forever
and hot summer days under the sun getting blisters." Good imagery.
