We’ve explored the world together just you and I
It was fun and I would love to have another try
We had good times and bad times but we still made it through
I wouldn’t change anything just as long as I was with you
You’re my wife my companion and my best friend
I wish I could travel back in time to love you all over again
Id be there when we met at the very start
To befriend you and recapture your heart
To go to all the places that we’ve been before
With you it would still be exciting and never a bore
You’re my wife my companion and my best friend
I wish I could travel back in time to love you all over again
I want to return to a now to a younger age
So we can start new right from the first page
Live laugh learn love and always be free
Wouldn’t you do the same just to be with me
You’re my wife my companion and my best friend
I wish I could travel back in time to love you all over again
When my life is over and its finally complete
I’ll be god for a chance to repeat
And if he grants me that gift because of the power he does control
I’ll once again give you all of my soul
Blood is thicker than water
They say this much is true
And I guess I can attest to this
Anytime I'm around you
You are my confidant
My friend til the end
No other can dissuade
Problems that fall away like petals
You provide a comfort like no one
A shelter in a homeless life
Tears that might have been shed
If not for your love and might
There's not enough time or space to say
How much I cherish all your ways
My wonderful friend you are an angel
Simply put I love you for all of my days
your my friend that i love
everytime i see you
i fall more for you then you do me
you keep everything at a friend level
i want more then a friend
i care more for you then anyone else
you may think i never dream of you
you dream of your fanstays
i dream of what we could become
i want to say "i love you"
but you make me shy when i'm around you
i want you to know my feelings
you want to keep your feelings to yourself
i want you to tell me everything
but do you want me to know everything
once i think about this
i see i don't belong to you
It means the world to me,
To have a friend like you.
Your there for me through the smiles
and the tears too.
I feel like I’ve known you my whole life,
For you are more of a sister then a friend.
We will be there for each other,
Until the world ends.
I love having you in my life,
And I know I always will.
We’re there for each other,
Through every sorrow and thrill.
You are the best friend a girl could have,
And I’m lucky that you’re mine.
They say when two souls are meant to be,
Their hearts will aline.
Well when I first met you,
I knew we were meant to be friends.
Meant to share our experiences,
And to you, my heart extends.
All I wish for,
Is for you to always be there for me.
And when it comes to my heart,
My best friend will always hold the master key.
It means the world to me,
To have a friend like you.
Your there for me through the smiles
and the tears too.
I feel like I’ve known you my whole life,
For you are more of a sister then a friend.
We will be there for each other,
Until the world ends.

Dear Diary
I tell you everything
That sits heavy on my heart…
You take it away as if on a train or a plane
You keep my secrets and tell no one
I have so much to hide and no one to tell
You are my friend always
Dear Diary
Who else can I tell?
All the things I love,
All the things I have secretly wished and done wrong
All my hopes and dreams, fears and follies
You keep my secrets and tell no one
You are my friend always
M y best friend is the one who brings out the best in me!
Y esterday, I was in the dark, now I see things more clearly!
D elighted in the comfort that only you seem to provide
E agerly, I bask in your presence allowing you to guide
A lways encouraging, lifting so high
R eaching for my goals as time goes by
E asy to talk to everything we share
S unshine or rain, I will still care
T oday into forever, my dearest friend you will be
F aithful and true is one dear friend like you!
R eady to lend a hand in the good things I do
I nch by inch, you’ve torn down the walls
E njoying encounters when hearts call
N ow and again, there’s a collision of wills,
D enying you would be to deny myself, still

E njoying encounters when hearts call
N ow and again, there’s a collision of wills,
D enying you would be to deny myself, still
The lies I hear.
How bad they hurt.
don’t let it show.
don’t shed a tear.
Just leave it to myself,
Never to tell aloud.
Cant tell no one,
Left on my “hurt shelf”.
When ever I do,
I try to hide
The irresistible feelings
Whenever I cry.
Now, you have hurt me,
And don’t even care.
The way I feel,
Or how he does his hair.
He never even loved
The way I acted,
Or the way I talked.
Just the way I looked,
And the way I walked.
Your suppose to be a friend.
Not for 5 seconds,
Not for 5 minutes,
But a friend to the end.
Just a friend to the end.
on this night i was alone
in a creepy house in the graveyard
a friend called to meet her there
so i waited there
i had been there for about an hour
when my friend ran in a panic
she screamed "come on i found a headstone you need to see"
so she took me to this headstone
when we got there i looked at it and it said
here lies excutioner
killed by the only girl whoever truly loved him
about the time i got done reading
i felt a blade go through my heart and i fell to the grave
as i layed there i looked into her eyes
and then she said "i'm sorry i only did it cause i love you"
and then she started to cry as i died
I had a friend once,
As cute as could be.
I had a friend once,
Who fell in love with me.
We laughed and played for days on end.
The news made me sway,
As our love started to shred.
He was leaving for good.
My heart felt so lost.
He bought me a gift,
And said all was well,
Our love was for naught.
Kissing my cheek, he turned and left.
Tears filled my eyes,
Then suddenly stopped.
Reading the card,
I couldn't help but smile.
Above his name read,
"There's no good-byes if one plans to return."
I wait for the day I can see his face,
So I can finally say goodbye,
And welcome an old friend home.
-This poem is dedicated to Matthew Holstein, the first man I felt so strongly about and first
experienced heart break with. I haven't seen him again since the day he walked away from
me. I've fully moved on from that pain but I sometimes find myself wondering what he's up
to these days, five years later.
I’m astonished by the way things can happen in life
There I was offering her the best friend she could ever hope to have;
But opportunity remained locked behind closed doors.
And I wonder if Nostradamus perhaps lined up the stars?
And it is that which affords a friend who has her ear such high regard?
Perhaps logic dictates that my love might never have had substance.
And the wind knocked down the notice; welcoming love’s tenants.
Then the rain overtook the wind; and the floods became a menace.
And caught up in a down pour; old lovers looked for shelter;
With no where left for them to hide; revenge then rose to swelter.
And as I sit here staring; at another effort blotched;
My tears swell up to blur my sight; and I have no eyes to watch.
"Never once had he felt so bad."
The man told his good friend
"I don't know what happened, I'm sad"
His friend thought he had seen the end
What happened then, that night before
He had been talking to someone else
But after the fact his friend made him sore
He wanted him all to himself
No bad intentions, no leading on
It's not the thing of those two
Please don't say that either was wrong
It's just uncertainty of heart and mind played through
The man told his friend after making a vow,
"I'm sorry, with ALL my heart"
"But I didn't think you wanted it now..."
"...Like you wanted it from the start"
"It's not your class or status,"
"Or the importance of your job"
"It's what you wanted for yourself and us"
"You're heart was locked when I turned the knob"
"Don't take this wrong, don't take it hard"
"I feel it's for the best"
"It's what you wanted in relationship status, to your heart no disregard"
"It's not being used nor is it a test."
Your love to him was strong
His love to you was none
You thought you’ll be together
He thought it’ll be a never
To him you were a friend
One he could count on,
To you he was an angel,
Sent from up above
He talked to your friend more
Then you
You talked to him as
The days went through
You’re friend says he is nothing
But listen to her do you?
There was only one thing
You thought and that was
Jealousy.
Softly I whistle from across the fence
your head like lightening lifts
in greeting as your eyes come to life
you meet me halfway and
lower your chin to my shoulder
as I throw my arms
around your neck, nestling into
your warmth and inhaling your aroma
your breath is soft and warm,
sweet smelling as hay,
in the crisp morning air.
My hands run across the vast
expanse of your broad shoulders
remembering all the times they
carried me and my problems
to the slow running river where
we’ve spent most our days
in sunshine and blissful silence
running across the grassy plains
I could feel the power in
every graceful stride
feeling safe and secure
You’re a friend who asks no questions
you willfully do my bidding and
are always there to listen
A friend like you,
is a friend indeed,
you, my faithful companion,
my steed.
They link hands and arms
The row isn’t wide enough for three
I’m stuck behind, being almost forgotten
I’m like the woodchucks
Except I’m loosing the battle of my friendship,
That girl would never strike me as that certain type of girl,
But now I’m getting jealous but I’m not that way
My friend is being swept away from that other friend of mine.
But I see her everyday in school but,
In the summer she might not be mine.
