    Thats really good i luv the emotion and it flows really well
    i think your friend will love it :)
    but if i could suggest maybe changing the word "sad" in the 2nd line 2 maybe upset cuz i think it needs a 2 syllable word or something there, it just sounds like it just stops there when reading it
    great work

    Alright. Well the friend in me, really wants you to keep it as is, because nothing is better than words that are unpolished and directly from the heart.
    However, the writer in me has always been more prominent than the friend. (Which is ashame sometimes). I can't seem to leave this be, without telling you how I might have changed it if it were my own. Most of the things I have re-worded, are most likely just to make it flow better or read smoother.

    Today I noticed a change in you
    And it made me really sad
    **It made me think of the things I've always wanted to say
    But just never have

    **I love the meaning in this line (the line that is also starred up there ^^) but it's just so long. How about:

    Today I noticed a change in you
    And it made me really sad
    Made me think of memories,
    The things I left unsaid.

    It's a little simpler... You dont' have to like it.

    In these next two stanza's I'm not going to re-word anything, because they flow well enough. -And I really do hope you realize the importance of your own sincere words.
    However, what I am going to suggest, is decide how important the word 'and' really is. When it comes to poetry, you don't need those connection words all the time. On average, they're normally used to add a syllable so that the writer can keep his/her flow smooth. If you agree that sometimes, 'and' is not necissary, read your lines without 'and' in the beginning- to test how it sounds without it. If you like how it sounds, remove it. If you don't, keep them there. :)

    I think that's all I'm going to say though. I think your friend will (or atleast Should) appreciate it. Well done and Good luck. :)

    I really liked this poem. it was pretty sweet. perhaps because it came from one of my best friends written about my best friend. haha but i thought it was really good.
