The first thing you said to me
I like your hair
The second thing you said to me
You go to my school right
Two sentences
And I knew you were going to be my best friend
Our friendship started off quick and easy
There were no awkward silences
Our lives were two zig zag lines wandering endlessly through space
They collided and now move with infinite parallelism
It was like I had known you my whole life
Like our souls were eternally bonded
We share a unique friendship
We don’t need glitter to be happy
Sappy romance movies and eating cake until we barf is what makes us happy
Comfortable silence after a hard day is enough to show we care
As we get older and the people around us change
Our friendship will always stay young
And when we have to move away from each other
I will still laugh at our stupid jokes until I sob
Because all good friendships are cliche
Really like how you broke up this poem into couplets and the types of info you included because it sounds true. Hard to sound too sappy when you use the word barf.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you might put the second and fourth lines in quotes with punctuation since they were said. Also Before your last single line it might be fun to play with cliches about friendship and twist them. Would be a good playful challenge and would fit this poem.
ex. Maybe a mixture of: Absence makes the heart grow fonder, apple of my eye, alls well that ends well, as good as gold, as honest as the day is long, beggars can't be choosers, bend over backwards, birds of a feather flock together...or one cliche followed by a line of your own.
It might also be nice to add a few more details about what makes your friend unlike any other person int he world.
