When we first met
We couldn’t stand to be around one another.

When we first met
Your boyfriend and I were best friends.
Making it hard to be around you both.

Finally we started talking
Realizing how much we had in common
And we became inseparable.

As the years flew by
Our friendship solidified.
But then the day came when you had to leave.
I was the last to find out
But only because it was impossible to say good-bye.

That first year we talked and talked and talked
Bust as the days passed,
The conversations died.

It’s been four years since you left,
But unlike then,
We never talk.

I tried to arrange a day to talk
But again and again
You blew me off.
Now here I am
1000 miles away
And you still won’t say
A single word.

I thought we were best friends…

It's been a year since you left,
Six months since you last visited,
(But I didn't see you then).
When you left,
I thought I'd never see you again.
But when you came to visit
I thought that that would be my last chance
But you barely even left the house.

When I heard you were finally coming back
I figured that you'd be lazy
And not want to leave you house.
But your brother dragged you out
And I finally saw you.

As I turned down the road
And saw you for the first time
All I could think was
"Oh God!  Not again!"
An infinite amount of emotions
Slammed into my heart
All at once

It was all I could do
Not to throw myself into your arms
And cry tears of joy.
We fell into our comfortable insults and jokes
Just as soon as we saw each other.
It felt like you had never left;
Like it was any other weekend.

The next few days we just hung out
Talking, joking, insulting one another.
It seemed like we were thrown into the past
When nothing had pulled us apart
Before either of us made the mistake
Of telling the truth.
Watching movies
And giving commentaries
While eating pizza and soda
As we lay of the bed.

I wish we could rewind time
Just so we can relive those amazing moments.
But looking back on the past few days
And all those years we were together
I realized
I really do love you.
Never before
(Or after)
Have I ever been so close to someone
(ANYONE!)
Never have I told somebody so many secrets
Never has someone known me so well
Never has someone been able to say
"Oh she would say this"
Or "Don't say that, it'll make her mad"
Never have I been able to be myself and not feel uncomfortable
Never except when I'm with you.

I wish we still lived in the same country.
I wish there weren't oceans separating us.
I wish that I had the courage to give you these poems.
I wish you were here to help me through this move.
I wish I was in Sweden with you
(Or you were here in America with me)
I wish
I wish
I wish.
Only wishes are left.

I wish I could tell you I love you
I wish you knew how much!
I wish you knew I never loved someone as much as I love you.
I wish I had the courage
The courage to send you all the poems
I've ever written about you
Because there are so many
With so many words
That you'll never hear.

I wish
I wish
I wish

Even after all this time
All it takes is one look. 
One look and I can be happy. 
One look and you know that I've been crying. 
One look and we have a whole conversation. 
Even after all this time
You still know. 
You know how I'm feeling
You know how I'll react
You'll know what I'll say. 
Even after all this time
I still love you. 
I love you smile. 
I love your personality. 
I love your comforting presence. 
Even after all this time
You're still the only one. 
The only one who knows me 
The only one who I've ever truly loved. 
The only one who knows when I'm lying. 
Even after 9 years of friendship and knowing each other
We're still friends. 
We still insult each other. 
We still care for one another. 
We still watch over the other. 
Even after all these years
We still have each other!

Saying Goodbye Part IV
To AW:

9 years…
9 years is a long time to know someone.
9 long, amazing, wonderful, crazy years.
(Even if we were only friends for 7 of those)
What more is there to say?
You’ve ALWAYS been there.
You’ve ALWAYS been my best guy friend.
You listened when no one else would
Even when it was something stupid.
You took my slaps and punches
As my punching bag
And never forced me to stop.
(You’ve no idea how much this helped!)
When we grew apart
You were still there.
I didn’t get to say good-bye when you graduated.
But now I don’t want to.
I don’t know how.
Even after a year of being apart
We can still pick up where we ended.
What more can I say?
Please keep in touch!
Please, I beg of you!
I can’t lose a friend like you.
These past two days have reminded me of that.
Thanks for the memories:
Crazy
Stupid
Bad
Amazing
Wonderful
Weird
Fun
Messed up.
Honestly
I never wanted to hurt you
(Really! I just said those things as a joke! I don’t really want to throw/push you off a building and I don’t mean all those distressing  things I always say. It’s only to you because I love you and know you won’t take it seriously!)
I don’t want to say good-bye
I don’t want to leave so soon
But I have to go
I have to say good-bye.
Here it goes:
You’re my best guy friend
And I love you for who you are!
Please stay the same crazy, loving, ****** that you are!
I’ll miss you so much!
I don’t know when I’ll see you again.
But just know these few things:
How much I love you
(And our friendship)
That you’ve helped me
(Even when you didn’t know it)
That our love/hate relationship is why we’re such good friends
That we WILL see each other again.
Finally;
I’ll miss you like crazy!
Good-bye!!!

Saying Good-bye Part III
To NP:

5 years.
We’ve been through it ALL in 5 years.
Fights
Love
Craziness
Sugar highs
Inside jokes
Tears
Laughter.
EVERYTHING.
These years have been long
And absolutely fantabulous!!!
But it’s time to say good-bye
And I have no idea how.
How can I say those words after so long?
Promise me this
Before I say good-bye.
Just promise:
4 hours isn’t too far away.
We will see each other soon.
We won’t be too far apart.
And finally,
We will talk and stay in touch.
We’ve put this off for too long
But it’s finally time
As you walk out my door,
I love you
My best friend
My “sister”
The person who understands me.
I’ll miss you!
Good-bye!!!
(But only for a little while, right?)

Saying Good-bye Part II
To MS:

3 ½ years.
How is it possible to love someone this way in that amount of time?
You’re one of my best friends.
Through the fights,
Guy drama,
And everything else.
It’s time to say good-bye.
It’s not easy,
But here it goes.
I love you
3 ½ years is not enough!
Dancing in the rain
Staying up all night long
Just hanging out.
What more can I say?
Our replationship revolved around just a few things:
Laughter
Sugar
Girl talk
Books
Movies
And most importantly
Never giving up on one another!
I don’t know how I’ll get through
But it’s time to say good-bye
After all this time.
We’ve stalled and stalled
But now it’s time,
Time to say good-bye.
So here it goes:

I love you!
(You’ll always be my “twin sister”
And of course my “lover” and “wife”)
I’ll miss you more than you’ll ever know.
Good-bye!!!!

Saying Good-bye Part I
In ten years
I’ve said good-bye more times than I can count.
Only once have I had to say good-bye as I left,
But so many people have left my life.
I’ve learned that these good-byes NEVER get easier.
Only a few more hours left
But so much to say!
How can I say what I need to in these last few hours?
Is there any way we can repeat this last year of high school
But only so that we have more time together?
Nine years in Malaysia has changed me
All thanks to the people I’ve met here.
But to say my last good-byes
Is harder than I ever thought!

I don’t think I want to say good-bye!
After 2-3 hours I finally have all 4 of these finished. Many tears were shed as I wrote these for my 3 best friends, MS, NP, and AW
