The Network

You are my best friend.
You are the person who picked up the phone when I was scared
or
the person who gave me your arms when I had nothing else
or
you are the reason I believe in humanity.

Yes, it's YOU
if you haven't yet, you will.

You might give me a laugh when I want to cry
You might send me love when all I've had is lies
You might tell me it's gonna be fine

Or

You might just smile when I pass
Maybe you sat next to me in class?
Yeah, back then, when I was too afraid to ask
you give me the courage to go back.

I'm writing this for those who see
You didn't realise it, but you believed in me
because you are a part of my history

You are practically my best friends.

My capacity to love is beyond time and space
because you are a member of the human race.

When you are the one who needs a best friend
Tell me.
Let me know.
I won't miss a beat.
Because you...

You were like my best friend.

  1. Rhyme, meter, consonance, repetition ... could this be! Ah yes by and by it is poetry, and O does it make my heart swell. A beautiful poem Frances, and much more palatable than that glee program references.

  2. :) I do like to write a good bit of poetry. Just recently had some rejected from an online magazine's first issue. Burn! That's all I have to say. However I'm glad you're enjoying reading it! Poetry is such an underrated form of art!
