Favorite Quote:
If you're not willing to die for the ones you love, your life isn't worth living at all.


Many years have passed since you held my hand;

Many years have passed since I've seen your smile;

But the memories slowely fade away as an older age creeps upon my soul:

Many changes have occured, rendering you different from how I remember;

Yet your face still haunts me:

My lost friend.

 

For a night I see your face in my dreams;

Dreams that stab my heart with the yearning to see thy beauty:

Your face I still see, with your eyes so sweet:

Your's gaze into mine, searching for that love I once had:

But if this search occured on this day;

You would be disappointed:

For I too have changed, more suited for darker times:

You would have to look deeper and further;

But I know you have the ability to find the real me:

For you are my lost friend.

 

As you may search my soul for me, I will search the world for you:

I will search for your name, your address, or any form of evidence that relates to your location:

For I yearn to hold your soft, warm, hands and remember:

Remember those memories that struggle to crawl back into existence:

Until we share this experience, I shall search:

I shall search for you until the day I die;

For I still love you:

Because you are my lost friend.


The author's comments:

I was inspired to write this by the memories of an very good old friend of mine. I moved away, so I never got to see her again, and I went through a long period of depression, so I locked myself away and didn't let anyone in. Only certain people can discover the real me, and I know that she's one. I'm sure everyone has had a similar experience. We all lose friends and we change but no matter how rough life gets, we'll never forget them and we'd do anything to see them one last time.
