Once we accept our limits, we must go beyond them. -Albert Einstein


We used to be little kids,
Saying stuff like 'BFF',
But now that is gone.
We are older now
And have gone our separate ways.
Maybe it was me who changed,
Or maybe it was you.
Or maybe it was both of us.
But now I can see
That there is no such thing as forever,
No matter how much you want there to be.
No forever for you
No forever for me
No forever for us.


The author's comments:
I had had the same best friend forever, since we were three, and had assumed things would always be the same between us. This year, though, we slowly started to drift apart, until we stopped talking all together.

"To these the past hath its phantoms,
More real than solid earth;
And to these death does not mean decay,
But only another birth"

I think we all feel this way with someone at least one time in our life. It's sad, and a little depressing. We want to hang onto them with a tight grip, but sometimes they don't give you anything to hold onto. Another marvelous poem :) Please add some more stuff, I really love your work! XD

Thank you! When this happened I thought about how many other people it must happen to, and just decided I needed to get my thoughts out on paper. I thought it was really bad though, so it's good to know that you liked it! And sure!
