Who We Are

Another poem about my friend who is going into the Marines. I realize, I'm posting a lot tonight o.o

Come sit with me

Or let’s take a walk

For hours, and hours

Just so we can talk

I’ll tell you about my yesterdays

You’ll tell me about your tomorrows

Laugh, smile, feel free

We can forget about our sorrows

But isn’t that what friendship is all about?

It took too long for ours to start

I start to give you some of my trust

I trust you not to break it apart

If I told you one thing to remember

Let this be what you take:

Who you are is not who you were

Don’t punish yourself for your mistakes

We have come a long way

Away from our pasts

Don’t forget me when you’re gone

I won’t lose you this fast

When I’m studying my days away

And your distance is so far

Forget who we were

Remember who we are

I particularly liked the third last stanza. 'Who you are is not who you were' That is so true

There's a simple profundity to this most heartfelt poem...it is everything friendship should be loyal yet willing the other to take flight even if that makes seperate lives.

A lovely piece of writing that I found to be fairly moving. I can relate to what is written about here. It really is a great piece of writing, well done.
