Though it's only been a short while,
I've never had a friend like you,
But soon you will be leaving me,
And I don't know what to do.
Your love and understanding
Have brought me a new hope.
I wish that I could keep you here,
Tied to me with a rope.
Why do you choose to leave me?
I ask with confusion and pain.
Don't let me go back to feeling alone.
When will I see you again?
The miles soon stretched between us.
What will happen to this bond?
Will we reunite to find
That this special tie is gone?
So many questions I have.
My heart filled with fear,
Dreading you will leave me
And never shed a tear,
Unlike this desperate aching
In my heart that won't let go,
Which leads me now to tell you
Something you must know.
The friendship you have given me,
The joy you bring my soul
Has filled me with such strength
And love once unforetold.
How can it be so short?
This time we've spent together.
I thought you would remain here
And love me 'til forever.
Sadly, wishful thinking
As I now have come to see,
But remember please this thought
When you think of me.
We may soon be separated,
But I'll remember just the same.
Forever in my heart
Is where you will remain.
I wish that when you leave
We'd remain the best of friends.
You'll be in my thoughts
'Til I see you again.
How can I say goodbye?
No words, just tears fall
From my eyes and sobbing heart
That knows you after all.
The hours spent together
Will soon dwindle down to few,
Forcing me to let go
And start this year anew
Without you here to talk to.
Searching for a friendly face
That knows all too well
They can never be replaced.
Poem About Wanting To Hold Onto A Friend
I have a best friend who I started talking to in February of this year. I met him in person September 1, 2018. After that we hardly talk. I miss the way we would talk before we met in person....

I am 14 years old and my best friend that I have known since PreK is moving by the end of this week. We had a very close bond. She was like my lil sister.
