Friend Through Time Poem by CaielaTerese Sullivan

It all makes sense
After all this time wasted
Wearily waiting for someone to understand me-my thoughts
Now, I know where I truly stand.

Memories, moments, words, people, places
Every one so deeply etched-nested- inside my mind
I thought I would break
I thought I would crumble

The past smothered me
Life was hard
Day by day passed,
Still though I wished for times before

Just as I had had enough
Just as I was going to give up
Just as I was finally finished
Just as I was sure life would never be good again

Snap, just like that you’re there
I never thought to see you again
Yet, you returned
I am happy

A piece of the past
Brought back to life
No longer just a memory
No longer just a moment in time

Thinking back,
Remembering,
You were always there
You made me go on

The past wasn’t perfect
Not the way I perceived
That, you made evident
However, I’ve loved it all the same

Live in the present
It’s said over and over
Yet, until now
It was far too difficult

I thank God
I thank Him for bringing you back
I thank Him for someone who truly understands
I thank Him for answering my prayers

I’m not afraid to live life
I’m not afraid to be who I am
I’m always going to be strange
That’s ok

When I thought I hit the bottom
You came and reminded me where I stand
I thank you for believing in me
Just as I have always believed in you
