About the Poem

Every once in a while, someone contacts you while you are online & you hit it off, right from the start. This person becomes your best friend, and then, for one reason or another, with a click of a button, they are gone, and you never hear from them again. This person is truly missed, more that they will know.

At Random

by Cheeky

It was at random that we met,
A chance that not many get.
When I heard the "Uh Oh",
How was I to know!
That you would turn out to be my special friend,
Someone who could be there,
Until the end.

No matter how I feel or what I do,
I know, in my heart,
That I can count on you.

I've never seen you,
Heard you, or touched you.
Those kind of chances are very few.

To meet someone from far away,
Never knowing if they're here to stay,
Not knowing if what they say is true,
Of what they're doing and telling you.

So far away, but yet so near,
The "not knowing" is the fear.
Is it truth, or is it lies?
Will a heart grow, or will it die?
Either way, the bonds of Friendship's strings are tied.

One's needs are met,
Some with regret.
Some with hope,
Some with pain.
But still, the answer is plain.

If we hadn't met,
On that very day,
Things would be different
In every way.

The emptiness may be filled,
A life may start to rebuild.
A heart may be broken,
Or made to mend;
All because of that
"Random Friend".

Loved this poem.

gjallar

what can i say that hasn't been said? i'd still like to say it anyway. it's BEAUTIFUL and it's true. i'm on my second glass of water because i'm trying to control myself.

I Loved this poem. It really is true, I mean if you think of how everything in the world happens it's really weird. For example, the guy I'm with now its like a miracle he's with me today and wants to be with me every day he has in his life! I had one kid with a guy was with for 8 years and then I met the guy im with now and we broke up and i had another kid with the same guy as before and then i ran into the guy im with now again and he still loved me it's really weird and i know this sounds funny but its a difficult story to tell but he knew it all and he stood by me the whole time and hes still standing by me and if i would have never met him my life would be totally different and im just so glad its not. This poem reminded me of just how lucky i am to have him! thx!

the poem really touched me in a way that none other has. i had a friend on the net, that i really cared about and then they were gone. you know what they say, you never know what you have until it is gone. well that is very, very true. i realize what a wonderful friend and person he was.

Very Touching. I has a net friend and she moved away to north carolina like a year ago, and thats the last time i heard from her was when she told me she was going. As i read your poem, it made me think about her, your popem is really great.

Ana

WOW! I loved this poem. It really reflects what I'm felling for this special friend. I know that one day he might just stop writing, and that makes me sad. I have found in him so much that I don't know what I would do if we lost contact.

Connie

Wow first of all I use the name Cheeky too online so that was cool and your poem hit home very hard. I had a very good online friend who disappeared for about 6 months and suddenly was back, unfortunately she was very sick for quite awhile but is doing great now. But no sooner than I had that friend back another has disappeared, and I haven't heard a thing from him for 3 months, so I've sent this off by email to both of them and will hope I have them both back real soon! Thanks Cheeky for that, it was great!

Amanda

Your poem is incredible. It touches many. I lost a friend sometime last year, without a word, he was out of my life. I miss him terribly. Keep up the great work.

Suzanna

I can really relate to this poem. I found my soul mate on the internet about 5 years ago, and we became so so close. Then one day, she disappeared. I miss her so much, and i'll never forget her. This poem reminds me of our friendship, and I thank you for that.

Maria
