To the Important People in My Life

At once in my life

I lived in a shell

things werent always alright

At times it was hell

but you dont know

what each of you has done for me

I love you all, in different ways

you made me what I want to be

I have changed so much

in the past year or two

this never would have happened

if it wasnt for all of you

you have put up with me

listened to me complain

or just have been lots of fun

through good times, or the pain

now as I look ahead

my eye forms a tear

things are changing yet again

I graduate in a year

so the sad thing is

I may never see some of you again

but please never forget me

I will always be your friend

When you want to reach me

I wont be very far

the only problem is

I probably still wont have a car

but if you need me

anytime of day

I'll only be a couple clicks of the mouse

or just a phone call away

as your own life moves along

think of me every now and then

I will think of the way we met

when we were 6,17, or 10

and all the memories

we have shared

and the times I needed you

the way you cared

but thank you for everything

I let out a sigh

as I finish the poem

that is a way to say goodbye
