"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." - Ralph Waldo Emerson


It started so simple and slowly grew

Until it had formed into something new

Now we're apart and I'm thinking of you

I secretly wonder if you think of me too

I remind myself I may not see you again

But the will of my heart refuses to bend

As I stress over the way that it had to end

And silently cry of my parting with a friend

And not just any friend but one of the best

As my broken heart refuses to rest

I remember our memories and my love for my friend

As my love fades to a whisper gone with the wind

 

A distance standing amidst you and me

A wall between you and the things I believe

Tearing me apart from the inside out 

As I try to determine what it's all about

The pain is consuming and I'm always asking why

My heart is breaking and I'm so torn inside

I made a decision to do what I believe is right

Even though it really hurts and makes my heart tug tight

Just know I love and miss you with all my heart

And it grows more and more every day we're apart 

So I'm clinging to my memories and my love for my friend

As my love fades to a whisper gone with the wind


The author's comments:

I wrote this poem for a really good friend of mine. I didn't realize how much he really meant to me for too long. When I finally realized and expressed how I felt, little did I realize, I wouldn't get to see him anymore about 2 months after that. I can't express how I truly feel for this friend of mine. He means more to me that words could describe. I discovered we had mutual feelings for each other, but some hard decisions have forced me to realize that the right thing, is never the easiest. And the right thing is to let go of the belief that we can ever be together. Remaining friends has been difficult for me, but has taught me patience, because our only point of contact is through letters. I still hold out hope for the future, secretly holding on to the love I feel for them in my heart. But only time will tell the future. So I cling to my memories, and the hope in my heart, as I watch the future slowly unfold.
