The Bell Man Poem by Diego Adrian Manriquez

I vaguely remember the last time I saw you,
It was about a week before school had ended,
Your hair was up that day with a fresh rose sticking from out your ear,
You had those blue cut off jeans with pink shoes,
You were wearing the shirt I had gotten you,
I looked up to see your face and you had tears running down your cheeks,
He had broken your heart,
The boy who would tell you everyday that he loved you,
The coward who told you you'd two would last forever,
You gave him your all and he let you down,
And what hurt the most is that you blamed me,
For it falling apart,
Of course it was my fault,
I was tired of holding in it for so long,
I seriously have had this sitting on my head since the day you left,
I still feel like it would do nothing to tell you know,
But for the first time in years I was happy,
I needed your smile to get me through the day,
Even if I was walking to get to my other class,
If it was even a glimpse of your eyes,
If it was the smell of you picked up by the wind,
I knew for the first time,
I was in love,
And it felt so right,
Too bad in the end,
Some of the best of friends become total strangers.
