Poem Remembering A Friendship

I wrote this poem for a class assessment, and when I showed it to my parents, they were really impressed. It's a poem of my own experiences, and everyone motivated me to publish it. So I thought I could just give it a try...

Because She Was My Best Friend

Published by Family Friend Poems April 2015 with permission of the Author.

Together we would laugh, together we would cry,
With each other, we'd never be shy.
We'd often fight, then sort it out,
And at each other, we would never shout.
It's because she was my best friend...

When I was with her, I was very crazy.
I would always dance like a silly daisy.
I didn't care what they thought of us,
Since all they could possibly do was fuss.
It's because she was my best friend...

I'd turn to her when my spirit needed a lift.
We would treasure our friendship; it was a gift.
She'd lift me up when I felt down,
And put a smile on my face when I wore a frown.
It's because she was my best friend...

I saw her today with someone else.
It had been many years, so I was past tense.
She ignored me, and I wanted to cry.
If only she could just say goodbye...
It's because she was my best friend,
And I never thought it would come to an end...

When my best friend that I’ve known since I was a baby came back to England, we grew a connection. She was always by my side and made me happy. She has 3 beautiful kids. The youngest is only 9 months. He’s my world, my everything. Then out of nowhere she had to go back to England, and that was 10 weeks ago. With COVID, she hasn’t been allowed to come back. My heart is shattered. I’m scared in case she never comes back. She even gave me the baby’s blanket to remind me of him, and every single night I sleep with it. And now my other friend has to move away for good. Why do they keep leaving?

One day my friend was going to Canada. I cried, I prayed to God (Allah), and the next morning he told me he missed his flight. I was happy!
