My Friend

You were my friend

But you left me here

I thought we would be

Forever a pair

You did for me

What no one would do

You were for me

What no one would be.

You were there when I cried

And there when I tried

You were there for me

When my Papa died

You were always there

And never mean

You had time to share

And you shared it with me

I will never forget

The day we met

Please remember me, Larissa Jean

This poem was written about the one girl that befriended me when I moved to a new school in the fourth grade. She gave up all her friends and possible popularity to be friends with me, the new girl. We continued to be friends, even when she left the school, and to this day, I consider her to be the best friend I ever had.
