Fare Thee Well, Sweetest Friend

Written for a very dear friend who will leave town in a few days. It wasn't very long that we were friends but we bonded very well. This one is also in reference to some things I might have mistakenly told her and hence is a last attempt to take back all those words.


In verse emotions flow free,
In verse lies remain constricted,
In verse hypocrisy lies slain
In verse beauty is apperciated
Adventures are narrated
Lovers are united
And in verse I shall bid thee farewell
Sweetest friend, my friend you will
Always be.

'Twas not too long we've known eachother
But brilliant has been our time together,
I wish I could turn back time
And relive those moments sublime;
Now our paths lie separate
We will, in time and memory, fade.
Things will never be the same,
But you will be remembered and missed
Sad adieu...

take this as positive criticism : most of your poems seem to be impersonal and distant, almost as though u dont really mean what ur writing. The ones that arent like this are the ones that make the greatest impact and are, quite frankly, very very good. This one is certainly such a poem.

A very natural feeling. A feeling of great loss, but the everybody get over it pretty soon. Then the friend just becomes an aquaintance.
But sometimes the bond remains.

@Kirtimaan
Thanks you even read it, man. Hope your practical exams go well.

@Chimera
Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, sure. Yea, this one really came from the depths of me. Really felt it. It will be a great loss when she leaves. 7th June, 2007.
