Jared Pickett Poet Free verse

Best Friend Turned Stranger

Through so much we have been,
my best friend turned stranger.
I'm reminiscent of my life back then,
thoughts of you permanently linger.
An R&B singer,
my heart-beat plays your acoustics.
My best friend turned stranger,
I cannot keep on doing this..
I miss our conversations,
relations, 
that stimulate my creations.
My best friend turned stranger,
distance cannot destroy our 
life time foundation..

**Dedicated to my Best friend Lauren Prater..
A woman who has touched me like no other
woman has ever.... Smart, ambitious, and faithful...
Traits that place her near perfection.. 
My best friend who will NEVER be a stranger..**

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen January 19, 2010 at 12:51 AM Hi Jared, It is unfortunate that a best friend can become a stranger, but that all too often happens after High School graduation. Phone numbers that were not collected, addresses not known... etc. Plus education and career goals that move friends from one part of a country to the other. But as you said in your poem, those friends life in the heart for many years after... And many do find ways to stay in touch, making life a joy. Very nice heartfelt free verse write. Lovingly, Dane Ann
