Do You Remember Me?To the friends who I've lost and who've drifted away . . . I might only mention three people here, but it's for all of you. Not that you're going to see it.
Do you
remember me?
The girl who
you played games with
Every
Tuesday night?
Do you
remember me?
The girl who
looked up to you
And copied
all you did?
Do you
remember me?
The girl who
would try anything
If you
suggested it?
Do you remember
me?
Do you
remember me?
The girl who
sat beside you
And called
you her best friend?
Do you
remember me?
The girl who
competed with you
And always
came out even?
Do you
remember me?
The girl who
wrote you letters
‘Til you
didn’t write back again?
Do you
remember me?
Do you
remember me?
The girl who
chatted with you
Across the
internet?
Do you
remember me?
The girl
with whom you roleplayed
As long as
there were stories to be told?
Do you
remember me?
The girl who
seemed to come from
A home so
unlike your own?
Do you
remember me?
Do you
remember me?
You’ve
probably forgotten
As your life
moved on.
Do you
remember me?
I wouldn’t
blame you if you didn’t;
I forget
things too.
Do you
remember me?
Whatever you
may answer,
I’ll still
say the same:
I remember
you.
That's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis is so deep, and so, so hard-hitting for me. I hate letting go of friends, and I hate it when we drift away. It's so hard... Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI know . . . it's the worst, I think, when you don't actually say goodbye, when you just, as you said, drift away. Because at least if you say goodbye, you know it's over.
DeleteI'm glad you enjoyed this.
(BTW . . . how'd you find this blog?)
Wow Sarah, this is so beautiful. Sad too, but still beautiful. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAww, this is so beautifully written and sad. I feel this way with many of my friends. We were close, but then they became different... I became different... and that's just one of the natural and hard things of life. I suppose we can always be thankful for the new friends that come our way. (and the ones that stay.)
ReplyDeleteIn my case, it's more that we lost the main place we saw each other, and our efforst to keep in touch just weren't enough . . . but yes, I'm very grateful that people continue to come into my life, and that I've held on to so many friends.
DeleteAhh.... this makes me feel sad! Heaven knows I know what this is like. :( Well written indeed. Well don't worry- We may have never met in real life, and probably never will, but I don't tend to forget people who make an impression on me. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for making you sad, but I'm glad you liked it. :)
DeleteNever say never- there's always a chance we might encounter one another. Slim, but a chance. Thank you, though. <3
I relate to this on a level that I shouldn't. But this was beautifully written, it puts all of those feelings into one amazing, well collected piece. <3
ReplyDelete~Noor
p.s- just followed your blog! it's simply fabulous :D
DeleteWhat do you mean "on a level that I shouldn't"? Just out of curiosity. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though, and thanks for following my blog!
DeleteSuch a bitter sweet poem! I think that everyone can relate to it in one way or another. Great job! :)
