At the end of my college experience, my roommate (and best friend) were splitting up to go our separate ways. We were going from being absolutely inseparable over the course of two years to completely unsure when we'd see each other again. As we prepared for the next phase of our life and wrapped up the loose ends from school, I wrote the following poem.
I think back on your memories, the stories of me and you.
I cherish them all, because they were ours together.
Sometimes I feel so helpless, because there is no way
To go back to those times; to be those people again.
But I will not mourn or cry because they're over,
Because I had the pleasure to have them in the first place.
It is an unfortunate part of life that a friend as great as you
Should be taken from me before I was ready to let go.
There is no doubt that I will miss you.
For at this very moment...I already do.
But God has a reason for our paths turning the way they do.
I just wish that ours had traveled together a little longer.
But even now life does not stop for my broken heart.
Even now I find distractions averting my attention from you.
Until one day when I will have only memories,
Stores of the past...stories of me and you.
