This's a poem I wrote back in high school. Usually, when I'd let someone read this, I'd tell them about the story behind it. That would usually take an hour, so I'm wondering if this poem can hold up on its own. I want you to interpret this poem to the best of your ability. Enjoy:
::Never Forgotten::
I didn't forget the first time that we met;
'Twas in a summer not too long ago.
I adored your smile and your so-timid style
And friendship, o'er time, began to grow.
I can still recall when I first did stall
To confess of my ever-strong feelings for you;
But your heart was taken, and you were so
Shaken!
Alas, Our mutual love was true.
I really have missed the first time that we kissed
'Twas against odds in a time of great strife.
We were hidden, our love was forbidden;
But we had to stop for the sake of your life.
I still remember that bleak, cold November
That day you were most stressed from two loves
combined;
Thoughts you tried of suicide
So I simply pulled out; I made up your
mind.
I can recapture the end of our rapture
When, abruptly, our love came to a stop.
"We will always be friends, to any and all
ends!"
That was the promise I swore not to drop.
But now I must ask that you take off this mask
It hides these memories that you don't remember!
As if in a trance, you walk by--not a glance!
Did you completely forget of November?
Yet what hurts most of all is that you can't recall
When I told you we'd always be friends.
I wish you would talk, but instead you just walk
'Gainst the grain of my walk-without-ends.
And as you walk by, all I can do is sigh
With a hope that you'll someday recall.
It's my heart there's a hole in, but my friend that
was stolen!
I want my friend back... that's all.
