Ode To An Old Friend Poem by Robert Kraft

I never thought you would leave me here alone.
Without you I can never feel at home.
The memories that we shared will forever be cherished.
Even though the chances of our being together have perished.
Its true that neither of us were perfect,
but we were perfect for each other.
Noone could ever take your place in my heart,
there will never be another.
It saddens me to know that we can never go back to those years.
The two of us together, knowing no fears.
But know that you will always have a place in my heart.
A place that your departure pierced like a dart.
You will always be in my thoughts, dearest friend.
Forever and ever, until my end.
