This Year Went By

by Samantha Hollywood   Jun 17, 2006


This year went by.. way too fast.
Something I'll never put away in my past.
All my best friends, I love you to death.
You have no idea.. you guys are the best.
The friendship we have.. i need it more.
But things will change once you walk out that door.
I'm a step behind, nothing you can do.
But please don't forget the good times we've gone through.
You'll sit in rememberance, just a year away.
Wondering whatever happened to that one day.
The days you still talked, communicated && such.
Now everyone's leaving and its all just too much.
Too much because you're my best friends.
Together we should have been till the end.
You say it's not true
You know I'll always love you.
But we'll still lose touch
The problem is that i love you TOO much.
Our last day together
Why can't it last forever?
That last day is one i'll never forget
And being your friend
Is something I'll never regret.

i wrote this poem to my three best friends, who are a year older than i am and are going on to high school.

    U hav described this situation really well, tho i think this poem perhaps lacks depth, and several of ur poems are very similar, i would love for u to be a bit more experimentive with ur writing, try different styles, different subjects, just be more creative. u have the talent u just need to expand it and broader ur horizons. aim higher and u will improve tremendously

    It's based more on the emotional level so it really appeals to the emotions. Some flow problems because of the words choosen and well just things of that nature but still really thought that this had been more for showing the emotions which is fine. So this...did have that emotional level that really made it something interesting despite some of the rough flow.

    This poem really shows how much your friends really mean to you-the emotions you felt are expressed really well and can be felt by the reader. My only problem with the poem is the break in the middle of the poem. The syllable count changes a lot and breaks up the flow on the line where you changed. To smooth this out you may want to add in a blank line so that the reader realizes the change better and is more prepared. Overall the poem is a wonderful write! 5/5 Keep it up!

    Wow this is really good. I know how you feel about your best friends leaving. One of my best friends moved to a different school in 6th grade. I never saw her till Freshmen year of high school and we are still best friends. You just need to know that if they are your best friends they won't forget about you no matter what and they may have made new friends but you where always there first. :)
