Poem about a friend

AL

Not so long ago

I was your gal

We had a great time

After meeting over email

 

You were the first

For me to date

With two letters

For a name

 

Too bad cocaine

Made your

Brain so lame

Or maybe I

Would have

Remained

 

All of those hours,

Holding hands,

Slow dancing

In your kitchen,

And playing pool in

Your game room

 

It wasn't physical

Attraction

That drew me to you

It was your

Friendship

My natural reaction

To hours of me

Laughing at your

Funny stories

 

I loved your thick

Southern drawl

How you raced

Your Porsche around

The mall doing

Figure eights

 

My friends

Couldn’t stop

Laughing at

You at the

Pub crawl

 

I'll always think

About you

Whenever I

see the Dawgs

Play football

 

You would tease

Me, when

Texas beat us

No one loves

G. Love

& Special

Sauce music like

You did

 

I'll miss you Al

I wish we had

Just remained pals

You were such

A good friend

To me

 

Al, you were

Such a man

In my eyes

Watching you

Be so tender

When you cared

For your Dad

 

I always loved your

Red coon hound,

RED

 

I love you too

I miss you,

AL

I agree 100% with what Abbie said. There's a lot of love in here, but it's also very sad…

[Abbie]

loving and sad at the same time.vey nice combo


100/100

Sad but very heartfelt. It's tragic the hold/change that drugs can bring about, taking away the better parts of the person.
