Friends Forever

** i wrote this poem for Carrie Tetley **
** if you're reading this, give me a call or something- i miss you!! **

"Friends forever" we promised

"Together till the end"

We did everything together

You were my best friend

Sure, we were young and foolish

To us life was just a game

But I always thought that as we grew

Our friendship would remain

I guess that was just another

Of my mistaken, childhood dreams

For as we grew, we grew apart

So far that we ripped the seams

The seams of a cherished friendship

That we worked so hard to build

In my heart was left a hole

A hole that you once filled

It couldn't be filled with just anything

I had to find the perfect fit

For it was a missing puzzle piece

And you, of course, were just it

But the piece of your puzzle fits somewhere else now

Somewhere that's far away

So until the day comes, that you'll want to come back

I'll just have to hope and pray

I love you girl,
always will,
Kathryn
