Hard Goodbyes

Walking into your house 
was like walking into a whole new world.
Laughter, joy, happiness, positivity 
filled the house.

Everyday would be a new adventure.
from having a double sleepover
singing in the kitchen on 
snowed out days, to 
swinging on the swings on a warm summer night.

Some days were difficult  
with screaming, running, name calling
 thrown up in the air like toys.
You would start crying, tears would start streaming 
down your face.
You would try so hard to break it up but 
you just couldn't, all you could do 
was walk away.

Summer days and nights were the best with you, my friend.
Going to concerts,
putting on fashion shows in your basement,
swimming together almost everyday. 
When summer was coming to it’s end
we hugged each other so tightly
you almost made me
lose my breathe.

As the school year began we were
coming home with homework,
and getting it done was the hardest.
We grew apart,  
everyday I would hear less from you,
less and less each day.
Even though we lived right across the street 
from each other
it just didn't feel the same.

A few months later 
 a phone call changed everyone's lives.
It was devastating news.
That moment, my heart stopped, my mind went numb, 
and i sank to my knees,
sobbing. 
That was the day you slipped away from us all.
I will always miss you.
