The gift of life.

[Keanumoreira]

Do you remember the day when we met, how the wind graced your step,

Do you remember the place I took you to, where the grass was not dry?

I remember when we tied together, our bonds as tight as strings,

I remember the day when our lives would forever change.

 

Do you recall the time, when you would chase the birds and bugs,

Do you recall the moment, when we lay at each others sides?

For I recall the instant, when our breaths merged as one,

For I recall the memory, when our love was the strongest of all.

 

Do you remember, how when you were sick, I was by your side?

Do you remember, how when you let go, and your eyes closed shut?

I remember when I found you there, a tear to graze for every drop.

I remember when I took you there, the final place of resting...

 

But for now, you are free...

 

In loving memory of my best friend, who died today on September 13th, 2010.

May her death bring her happiness in the forms she wished true.

I guess she's finally gone then. It's sad Keanu, and I hope your not too upset. And that was a very lovely poem for her. The best words always come when they are from the heart.

Thank you father, you have no idea what that means to me.

 

I'm not sad, sure I'm crying, I will admit, but she's finally free now, and that I think, makes me very happy.

 

It is a relief...

Commented in the painful moment topic, on your profile and now here.

 

That is a great piece of work. Nobody could have said it better: the best words always come from the heart. Good use of repetition; it can be a very powerful tool in writing. :)

Thank you once again Alias Theory. :happy:

 

She deserves at least this for all the love she has given me. I will defiently miss her very, very much.

No problem. But time heals all wounds...except for lost limbs, I guess. Just don't let it control you. I once worked with two guys who loved to make game sprites. They claimed to be twin brothers, but the father died when they were young and then the mother died of breast cancer. I told them that their mother probably wouldn't want them to be burdened by her death, but after an abrupt "farewell," now they are gone. Haven't talked since. I wish I could just talk to them casually again.

 

You know...you and your female friend remind me of myself in a way. I had a similar relationship like what I believe you have here. She and I were childhood friends, like a lot of my old elementary school buddies. Eventually we had to go our separate ways when middle school began, and I never saw her since. I grew up to be someone entirely different than I was before - selfless and kindhearted. Before I was a liar, a cheater and an arrogant person. She also moved several times. Now, over half a decade later, I get a blast from the past with a graduation picture and letter from her and I see everyone again; even my elementary school friends remember me. And her...she decides to go to UCLA, but had actually considered the same college I had chosen. Almost a decade later, we could have crossed paths again. It would be like losing someone you really cared about, and then getting him/her back.

 

Ahh, how I ramble.

Death is not eternal to those who are grieving. That's what's keeping me happy is that they can enjoy themselves in a better life, and oneday, we'll see each other again.

This can be a very sad, or happy poem. Depending on perspective.

It was meant to be a happy one, but let the people decide. :happy:
