PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I remember the first day I lay eyes on you

We were still children then, you and I

And by some mysterious twist of fate  we both simply knew

That we would be friends, and ours was a friendship that would never die



Do you remember seeing your star in Orion's Belt that night?

And when we spotted Celtic dragons in the clouds that day?

Do you recall, like I, with bittersweet delight

The games, as youths, we used to play?



I can't imagine why ever I let you go

I'll never comprehend the fickle nature of my heart

Because I WANT and NEED and LOVE you so

and when I watch you kiss her it tears my insides apart



I want to share a new secret with you, one I keep buried deep inside

A secret that she can suspect but never know for sure

Through silent promise bound, through trust kept, through honor tied

Until the end of our lives this secret must endure



I died the day I lost you, my childhood friend

And I'm so afraid to let you see me cry

Because I burn for this pain, this deadness, this misery, THIS LIFE to end

Not with an agonized scream nor a frightened whimper...



But in your arms with a comforted sigh...
