Best Friend Poem

My best friend and I have always considered each other "best friends," but one day, shortly after we were in a HUGE fight, I was thinking about what it means to be best friends. I started to jot down my thoughts, and this is what it turned into. Enjoy!

I know it's hard, but your life is very precious. God allowed you to wake up and some people never made it past the next day. You have to love yourself first and foremost. Don't think someone...

Best Friends Forever

Published by Family Friend Poems October 2008 with permission of the Author.

Best Friends,
The title we chose,
But what does it mean to be "best friends"?
You should see each other every day?
Well that's not true for you and me.
Should silly little fights get in our way?
Only if that's how it's meant to be.
Should we give?
Should we borrow?
Should we dance like there's not tomorrow?
Secrets are traded,
Privacy invaded,
Hugs and smiles are shared,
Tears are shed,
Love is spread.
We know that we both really cared.
I smile, you smile.
You cry, I cry.
I wish, you wish.
You die, I die.
If you fall,
I'll help you up,
And if you call,
I'll always pick up.
Best Friends Forever...
The promise we made,
And I know in my heart
That it will never fade.

I love my best friend. We get in arguments sometimes, but I still love my best friend. She may be mean sometimes, but I love her more than anything in the world!

I was thinking about committing suicide before I had friends. I thought there was something wrong with me, but I knew that the reason was because I was too shy and never talked. I went to a horrible school where people said I looked like a transgender and that I lived in a garbage can. One boy called me ugly. One girl was nice to me and then moved away. I had no friends and I was so sad and depressed that I was going to kill myself. I wished that someone cared about me, because I felt unloved and unwanted. All I felt was hate.

I think you should not care about others' thoughts. It has also happened with me, but I am not too shy. I have close and good friends too but never a best friend.

I know it's hard, but your life is very precious. God allowed you to wake up and some people never made it past the next day. You have to love yourself first and foremost. Don't think someone is going to love you more than you love yourself. If you had committed suicide, what good would that have done anyone? You are better than that. God didn't put you on this earth for you to just give up like that and just walk away...I hope and pray things get better.

This poem was sent to me by a very dear friend of mine, his name is Steve and all the word on this poem represents our friendship down to the last letter I share everything with him. There's nothing I hold back, we have a lot of miles between us but we still hold together strong....

Me and my best friend have been together for only a year and a half, but we are still friends! Lately we had gotten into a fight, and I apologized 'cause I started it. To this day, me and her have never yelled or fought. The thought of losing each other, is one we both cannot bear!

This touched my heart tremendously. Just yesterday my oldest and dearest friend (30 yrs we have known each other) died suddenly at the age of 43. Since we live 3,000 miles apart now, we didn't see each other that often anymore , but it reminds me of our relationship so much. Fights, guys, good times, heartaches, memories....all of it, so much like us. I will miss her 4ever, we had the best times growing up together & I'll never have another friend like her again, I miss her so much, my heart aches, & I never got to say goodbye. Thank-you for this poem, means so much.
