But What Of The Memories That Never Became? ... Poem by Kresta Farr

I'm sat here today and I'm thinking,
If things were different or what might have been,
A beautiful friendship was blossoming,
I was finally living my dream,
T have someone there,
When I reached out my hand,
To grab tight if you reached out yours,
Knowing my friend was a heartbeat away,
Made me smile and feel worth something more,
A lifetime of adventures,
Friendship & fun.
The smiles and the laughter & even the tears,
All seem so amazing because I shared them with you,
We had such big plans how our friendship could go,
The things we could do,
The ways we could grow,
But suddenly as if with the flick of a switch,
It's over and gone and I can't deal with it,
We may have our memories but that's not the same,
But what of the memories that never became? ...
What of each smile & tear we won't share,
It's cold now I reach out and you are not there,
It hurts to now I can't show you I care.
If this way is forever,
I don't think I'll survive,
Because I was most happy,
When our friendship was alive,
Now we walk past each other as strangers pass by,
Did you even notice the tear in my eye,
I miss your smile and I SO miss your laugh,
It pains me to think of what we could have had,
That beautiful twinkle you had in your eyes,
Was gone today and you could not disguise,
I saw straight away that you feel it too,
Do you miss me as much as I'm missing you,
You were my world and always will be,
I'm hoping one day you'll make more memories with me,
I will pray for that time as long as it takes,
Because losing my best friend has made my heart break.
