I wrote this poem about a group of people I met on a cruise. We became so close in merely nine days that we all cried when we left. We consider each other family and keep in touch. I still cry sometimes and It's been 45 days since we left. I write many poems about how much I miss them and I want to be with them again. We plan on seeing each other over the summer and any other chance we get. My sister and I plan to see our friend that only lives two hours away very soon. I miss everyone so much and they gave me a great experience. Whenever I feel stressed, I close my eyes and remember all of the amazing memories we share and how they affected my life. I wouldn't be who I am today without them. It seems everything I do reminds me of that cruise. My sister and I are really close now because of our friends who let us show each other our true personality. My sister and I were always on good terms but never really connected because she's four and a half years older than me. But since the cruise we've been like best friends. Well, I don't know how to summarize so if you read this whole thing, I hope you understand why this poem means so much to me. Thanks for taking the time ! (:
