Notes About The Poem

The first five stanzas are about how I met/got to know/just about my best friends. Each one is a different friend.

Undersea City

For as long as I remember
I've known you
You're the first friend I'd ever had
And the best one too
Don't remember a time
That I couldn't find
A friend in you

We met one day
And seemed to hit it off
Soon I'd say 
You're my best friend
No matter where I am
I know you'll always lend
A helping hand

I was the new girl in school
And you were too 
Didn't know anyone else
So I sat to talk to you
I can tell you my secrets 
And you don't tell a soul
Its easy to see that
Together we aren't alone

You moved in during high school
And I said hi once or twice
Mostly I ignored you
Although you seemed nice
Then suddenly you were 
Everywhere I looked
You became my best friend
Mostly by default 

I was a freshman 
And you were way old
Almost a senior
Almost as bold
You took me under your wing
Taught me how to fly
Now I can say
You're a brother in my eyes

Dive beneath the sea
To find my place of peace
An undersea city
Filled with pieces 
Of me
All my memories
In my undersea city

My undersea city 
With the ones who touched my life
Guiding me along my path
Helping me to find
Who I am, and who I'll be
In my undersea city
