You were always there

A/N: I came up w/ dis because someone left my life…and though hardly anyone reads poems and things I wish SOMEone would read it and enjoy it or at least review it. Wuteva. N e way, the poem doesn’t really rhyme (I suck at rhyming ^^;; ) but I guess its one of those poems…that…doesn’t rhyme…

You were always there…

Sometimes school was okay

Sometimes it sucked major ass.

But whenever I came home

You were always there

And we could always just talk

About things we hated or things we loved

And yet you didn’t sound gay like a normal guy talking about this would.

You cheered me up

When I was down,

While you were there

The sun shined and my heart lifted.

Then someone told me the news.

You weren’t there anymore.

As I walked on the sidewalk in the fall afternoon

With the sunlight filtering through the colored leaves falling on my head and before my path

Whirling in the wind like they were following a dancer’s footsteps,

I thought of you

And saw your smiling face by the white picket fence

Grinning, in that way that you always did

Telling me everything would be all right

Before it faded away and I found myself alone.

I would think of different times we had together…

How you made me furious sometimes with the things that you did or got upset over,

And other times when we were just hanging out or having fun.

Then I’d think of the times we were just together

And I’d remember

We were always happier that way.

We didn’t care about anybody else

We were lost in our own world, when we were together.

My heart was full with happiness and love for you

Corny as that may sound, it’s the best way I could put it.

You were my light in the dark,

And the thing I looked forward to when there was nothing else.

Then I’d snap back to reality as a harsh cold wind blew in my face

And a golden-red leaf blew by my nose,

And I’d remember

Autumn was our favorite time…

I wanted to say

Before you were gone

Before you left

Everything about you

Meant the world to me…

As I walked down the desolate street, without you by my side each step echoed,

As if with each step it shouted alone, alone, alone…

And I what I wanted to say

Was silenced forever

Because now you’re gone.

What I think now is

That though in the world you are only one person,

But to one person you might mean the world.

And the thing I wanted to say to you was this…

I’m sorry…

Remember,

To the world, you are just one person.

But to one person you could be the world.
