About the Poem

This does not even come close to describing how I feel about my best friend, Courtney, but it's a start. We only met 9 months ago and already she has taught me so much about myself and how important it is to give love and respect to others as well as yourself. I hope I have been as good of a friend to her that she has been to me. We are apart for the summer and I miss her so much and I can't wait to be with her again Love Poems

Until You, Without You
by Lindsey
Always feeling alone, until you
I didn't love myself, until you
I didn't care about life, until you
I never held a friend's hand, until you
I never told a friend that I loved her, until you
No one had ever held me for no reason, until you
No one had ever truly known me, until you

Lying in the darkness, without you
I don't know who I am, without you
I don't know what to do with myself, without you
How did I ever get by, without you
How did I ever find comfort, without you
Would I have ever seen my true self, without you
Would I have ever known true friendship, without you

OMG. I met this guy who is an awesome friend of mine. I was sick for a couple years and never really got to see alot of what the world is now. When i met him he showed me everything. He helped me catch up with my life. Now that he is busy with his life i feel i am with out him. Thank you so much for this poem
nikki
my parents sent me across the country because thye thought by friend was a bad influence on me. and this poem sums up every feeling that i have toward my friend. the best peom is the kind that does that. that makes you feel like there's someone out there you feels like you do, even if the senarios are different. this is one of the best poems i have ever read. and i thank the author for feeling th esame way as i do. if not, i would have felt completely alone.

I really love this poem because i have held my best friends hand before and i've told her that i loved her and i really don't think there's anything wrong with that. We are just really close. I really do love your poem!
Mallory
When I read this poem, I thought it was exactly how I think about my best friend. I just don't know if it's the same way she feels about me. We have been best friends for two years and I still don't know if she feels the same way. I don't know how to tell her. But this poem is one of the best poems I've ever read.
