Remember Me (Poem)

I wanted to be your
friend

I wanted so
desperately to be your friend

I thought we were
friends

You laughed

I smiled

We talked together

We wrote many words

Will you remember
me?

They say you’re
leaving

They said it’s fine

You didn’t tell me

How is this okay?

Will you remember
me?

Please?

I wanted to be your
friend

Even before I
understood you

I wanted to make you
smile

Because I saw myself
in you

Will you remember
me?

Remember that I
cared?

That I wanted to see
you happy?

That I thought you
were brilliant?

Please remember me

Remember the words
we wrote

The memories we made

The time we shared

Please

Remember me

You were always my
friend

My shot of cheer

In the midst of the
doldrums

Under the blanket of
despair

You were always my
friend

Always

Please remember me

And if you need it,

If you want it,

Please, let me be
your friend

Take care of
yourself

Enjoy the adventures
ahead

Breathe in life

And dream among the
star

Remember me

The way I remember
you

Because you made a
difference

–To me.
