A Rekindled Friendship

by Adelaine

A child once sat in a corner of a room.
He was lonely.
He was filled with gloom.
I haven't really seen this boy for a while,
Or maybe it was a girl.
The story is real however,
And I have no time to spare.
It's the truth about how wins are bare.
A story of grief and isolation.
Bringing tears to your eyes,
You'll remember every bit you've to price.
When this story is done,
I'm sure you'll remember it all...
How a child cherishes things,
Forever remembering how they climbed up a fall.

I shall address this child as a boy.
He was strange and dark and tall.
He was not ugly.
He was fine and modest.
We were the best of friends.
I knew him.
He knew me.
I liked the way how things were.
I liked his attitude of all...
He was not an extrovert.
He was shy and humble.
But purely I say,
Deep inside he was screaming,
Trembling his fears of all.
We were close,
But far...
A distance I could not measure.
He told me one day,
"If you lose me,
Don't you bother.
One day it is like we'll meet again.
We'll be happy together."
I did not understand his words,
But I was never comforted by it.
In my heart I knew,
It meant something so true.

The last time I saw my friend,
He came up to me.
He came just to cry...
His final words i remember,
Were his words of goodbye.
It was nothing to me when he left...
After all,
I'd thought I'd forget him.
His memory I'd left.
It was not until I grew old in my age,
That I felt him come back.
My thoughts of him hurt me,
I felt a scar down my track.
I was quivering though I knew I was not to fret.
It was a long time ago,
So why hide,
Why regret?
I was just small.
I was not tortured at all.
But then,
Now I felt it.
It was all coming back.
My memory of him,
Not a single did lack.
I remember his "HI's",
I remember his cries.
I remember everything...
It brought tears to my eyes.
I loved that boy dearly,
Now I felt it so clearly.
Now I miss him.
My bestfriend...
I forgot all about him.
I was lucky to have him.
Even so to think of him.
I just wish him back.
Just so slowly,
So I can quickly bring him back.
All those years...
My friend,
Betrayal never came.
Our friendship has grown,
Even now that I've moaned.
Thank you so much.
Your memory is all I have left...
Yet even though,
My whole spirit's uplift.
Goodbye now,
This is proper.
I'll cherish you forever.
Forever remembering,
Friendships memorable gift.
The bestfriend I remember you...
I knew you were true.
