Poems

Emotions ran through my head
I found myself wishing I was dead
All because you were moving away
I knew I would never see you another day

You got in your car and waved goodbye
and then I was left all alone to cry
I felt helpless, and all alone
I could only talk to you on the phone

You were my neighbor, and my best friend
Why, Oh why did it have to end?
You made me so happy, so carefree
You made it feel okay for me to be me

It’s been almost a year since you moved away
but it feels like it was only yesterday
I remember everything you used to do
It may seem impossible, but it’s true

You were the best friend I ever had
Now that you left me, I am beyond sad
I love and I miss you more than you ever knew
You’ve taught me so much, and I want to say thank you.

You are moving out to Germany
Where the people have died
Where you are away from me
Why do you have to go

Because your dad said so
His job is sending him there
I will miss you so much
You and me were friends

I will miss your neediness
Your brains
Who will I copy of now?
Who will wait for me when we got to PE?

You’re moving all the way to Germany
In another continent
Another language
Another custom

I have problems to deal with without you
But I shouldn’t worry
You have more problems to face
But know, I will be there for you always

Backing You up ’till the end
Im will cry when you’re gone
For you are not the only one i will lose
Sarah is gone and now you

You both have moved away
But keep in touch
If I keep on writing i might weep
But I will stay strong for you

I will pray for you
Goodbye my friend
You’re one of a kind
So now i must say goodbye

I hate when people leave
Its way too hard to say goodbye
when tears are running down your eyes
Whether they have died or gone somewhere far
Its too hard to bear
To know they wont be there
And the only way you’ll see them is
if you think back in time
With the memories you have shared
now in bedded in your mind
There’s no way you can forget them
because the impression they left behind
And now you long to see them or
hear their voice again
But you know it mite not happen
It makes me sad and thats why
I hate when people leave…..

You and I will meet again
When we’re least expecting it
One day in some far off place
I will recognize your face
I won’t say goodbye my friend
For you and I will meet again
