Change Poem by carlisa smith

Forever friends you promise
together til the end
we did everything with each other
you were my best friend

When I was sad, you were by my side
when I was scared, you felt my fear
you were my best support
if I needed you, you were there

You were the greatest friend
you always knew what to say
you made everything seem better
as long as we had each other
everything would be okay

But something along the line
we slowly came apart
I was here, you were there
it tore a hole in my heart

Things were changing
our cheerful music reversed it's tune
it was like having salt without it's pepper
a sun without it's moon

Suddenly we were miles apart
two different people, with nothing the same
it was as if we hadn't been friends
although we knew deep in our hearts
neither one of us was ro blame

You had made many new friends
and luckily so had I
but that didn't change the hurt
The loss of our friendship made me cry

As we grow older, things must change
but they don't always have to end
even though it is different now
you will always be my friend.
