I miss the way...

Submitted by Madeline on Wed, 09/01/2010 - 21:04

 I miss the way we used to laugh

At everything we did 

I miss the way we used to smile 

And joke around and kid 

 

I miss the way we used to sing

So horribly for fun 

I miss the way we used to giggle 

But now all that is done

 

I miss the way we used to fight

Even though that's strange

Becuase we always made up 

Right until that day

 

I miss the way we used to share 

Everything we had 

I missed the way we used to argue 

And then couldn't stay mad

 

I miss the way we used to do 

Just everything as one

But I guess it stopped being that

Friendship was no longer fun

 

I'm just basically saying this

To name my favorite things

But I guess it doesn't really matter

Because then those things did change

 

Some hurtful words were spoken

Possibly a shout or two 

And then it was all over 

And then what could I do? 

 

Six months later we met up 

We laughed just like last time

But I knew it was all over

Friendship wasn't fine 

 

I don't really miss 

the way you used to be my friend

I just named the things we did 

Up until the end

I'm suprised no one commented on this yet! This is a really good piece; quite melancholy, but good! I suspect that this was based off of something in your life from the emotion in the piece, but I could be wrong. This reminds me of a friendship of mine that was lost years ago. It's a very moving piece! Thank you for posting it!

P.S. If you are worried about grammar/spelling, just a note that one of your "because" words is spelled wrong (probably a typo) :)

I wrote this because my friend for eight years and I grew apart, and this is based off of the experience we had! Thank you for commenting! I went into a little lapse here on AP where my stuff wasn't read a whole bunch--maybe because I wasn't on a lot! LOL! So thanks again! :)

Oops! For sure a typo. Is it bad to say I don't mind leaving it that way? I guess I'm a lazy speller! LOL! Thanks for pointing that out! :))

Up until the last verse, I could have molded this perfectly to one of my own experiences.  Beautifully written, and very true.

I sort of stuck that last one in there as a defense for myself; because I found a better friend after her (KASSADY!!) and realized who a true friend was! LOL! So thank you very much the both of you for reading and commenting. :)

Aw! Your so sweet!

My heart went all warm when I read your comment! And be assured that you are one of the bestest friends ever! Ameras Mutla! I could never ask for a better friend (sister! *wink*)!

I loved this poem! SO AWESOME!

Your so sweet! Thanks!

See ya Soul Sister Sitter!
