this is a poem i wrote basically 2 years ago for a friend of mine, when i was feeling really alone and was missing her because she'd just dropped out of school and i hadn't seen her in a while.. anyways, i just found it and edited it last night.. her birthday is next month, and im thinking of giving it to her then... if i remember correctly, i gave her a birthday poem last year as well.. I'd Want It To Be You* (* denotes dedication following poem) All these other people That I call my friends They aren't really "true-blue" They wont be there in the end You're the only one Who always will be true If I could only have one friend I'd want it to be you You talked me through the many times When I felt so sad And you helped me to realize That things weren't really that bad You're the only one Who always will be true If I could only have one friend I'd want it to be you I never thought I'd make it Though those times I thought were so rough But it was you who pulled me through You were the one who was tough You're the only one Who always will be true If I could only have one friend I'd want it to be you When I think of all you've done for me It almost makes me cry I'll never be able to pay you back But that doesn't mean I won't try Because you are the only one Who always will be true And if I could only have one friend I'd want it to be you. ©stykz 4 March 2002/9:21a.m. edited: 18 August 2004/1:35 a.m. *This poem is dedicated to my best friend of 7 years, S.E.S. We've had out ups and downs in the 10 years that we've known eachother, but we've always been able to work through things. She's been there for me so many times when I thought I had no one else to turn to and so many times when I really didnt have anyone else to turn to. So this poem is a small token of my gratitude to her for putting up with my bullshit for all these years.
wow. Wow. I want you to know I shed tears while reading this piece. I would dedicate a reading to one person right now if I could. You know who you are my friend. Never change.
Though this does not make me shed tears I do appreciate the sincerity and the sweetness of the dedication.
