Love You Till Forever Comes Poem by chidiebere franklin

Do you still remember?
When it was just you and me
We trusted each other with anything
The best that friends could be

The bad times came
But we went through them strong
You were always there to help me
And show me right from wrong

Not just a best friend
But more like a sister, too
I never really understood
How could I be blessed with you?

And then I started drinking
I didn't treat you like I should
I thought I couldn't stop it
But you showed me I really could

I thought all the bad was over
That's when you fell for Chris
I warned you, told you it wasn't right
You said you just wanted to kiss

You know I wanted you to be happy
But Jenny, he was twenty two
Our youth worker - supposed to support us
He didn't deserve someone like you

Your relationship turned sexual
And I promised I wouldn't tell
I only wanted to be a good friend
I didn't know it'd make me unwell

Depression then took over me
As I watched him take over you
You treated me so badly then
But what could I really do?

He was seven years older
I hate him for taking you
I told you that I cared so much
And really, that was true

You couldn't see past his lies
And I was the only one who knew
Even though you don't speak to me now
Please know that I'll always love you
