My dearest friend

Where have you gone?

It seems like it was only yesterday when you loved me


I search desperately, aimlessly for you

As Demeter did for her abducted daughter

all to no avail


Sweet memories of our time together

Waste away in the depths of my mind


I long for the old-you, but I cannot find her

My dearest friend, do you long for me too?

If so, I’m right here.

My name is Lauren Kim and I'm a high school student. This poem is about a beloved friend of mine whom I have known since pre-school. Despite having moved to different schools for high school, we made to sure to keep in touch. It was going well until last year when I suddenly lost all communication with her. When I met her in person again, I noticed that she had completely changed. She was cold and indifferent to me and I didn't know why. I kept trying to regain the level of closeness we had before and renew our friendship, but she kept pushing me away. This poem can be interpreted as a message to her from me saying that I miss her and that I'll always be ready to accept her friendship.
