Growing up, we’re getting old
So little time, yet so much to go
You’re changing and so am I
I can tell by the look in your eye
You told me you believed in me
And that you loved what I’d do
On those days when I couldn’t see
I would always rely on you
Those days are gone
And now it feels wrong
You’re a senior now
And I’m wondering how
We’ll still be talking
Once you start walking
To your dorm room up north
Whilst I’m still down south
I wonder if you’ll remember
Our late night talks
Our texts til midnight
Cutting it short
Because our parents hit the lights
I’m scared, and I know you are too
Walking on paths, unsure what to do
We’ll be okay, I know we will
I thank you for the millions of times
You made me feel
I want you to still keep in contact
Never lose who you are
I know we’ll get off track
And you’ll move too far
For us to talk face to face
But that’s okay
I would do anything
To see your name
Pop onto my screen
At midnight
Like it did before
Oh, this is so beautiful, Gabby. It’s very sad, since it’s a very realistic thing that happens, but I love how there is the essence of hope throughout this poem when life changes. Anyway, I really loved reading this. Amazing work on this piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lucy! It's about a friend I know whos graduating, we haven't been too close but recently we started talking again, I knew them forever now and they just got accepted to a college. It's one of those pieces I felt really nostalgic writing lol. Thank you so much, your comment means a lot. <3
DeleteWow. This is beautiful, Gabby. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how even the message is quite sad and broken - hearted, it has this hopeful recuperation and wish throughout the poem. Making the reader, feel both woeful and happy at the same time. I love it!
Wow thank you so much Shalymar! That means a lot to hear. It was a mixed emotions piece xD
DeleteThank you again :)
A symbol of sadness... a broken heart, and a distance keeping two apart. But yet, there is still hope for the two. This poem teaches me a lesson, that life moves on; no one can control that. But the important thing is that we keep our heads up and always look for the light in life. Great poem! Your poems - I will admit - are better than anything I could of made given the time of the world!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment! I literally smiled because of it! I love how you took such light out of it and how you gave it this beautiful meaning! :)
