PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I had a dream one night

And you were still alive

And in that dream,

Your life passed by in front of my eyes

It began with us playing in the sand

When you ran off and returned with a dandelion in your hand

You said, "To the only girl that means the whole world."

And I laughed and we ran together to play

Then that day ended and I saw you in High School

You were getting straight A's

You looked so accomplished and you achieved everything you wanted

And you were Valedictorian on that day

College came knocking and you faced its challenge

And became a doctor one day

You settled down and married

The girl with the dandelion

And you had children with her one day

But sadly none of that happened

No, it was only a dream

You really did die that night

And I really did scream

The truck hit you and I was too late to stop it

It was raining that night and the man behind the wheel was a drunken

We pulled you to the sidewalk

And I held your hand

My tears mixed with the rain and they were invisible

I heard the paramedics screaming "Let go little girl, your best friend is dead.  Let go little girl, your best friend is dead."

I didn't want to believe them,

And I didn't want to let go of you

You were the only person that actually meant something

"Let go little girl, we're taking him to the morgue."

And they did what they said they would do

"Let go little girl, we're taking your friend to the morgue, and his family is joining him too."

I let go of you, and I let go of my whole world

And to this day I like to think of what may of happened

If I still would of held your hand

It wasn't glamorous like the movies

It was just tragic in it's own way

And I just lost my best friend that day
