Friends Until the End

Created: 05/13/2003

There's someone I call,
who catches me when I fall.
She's always there for me,
her smile always carefree.
I never knew the meaning of friendship
until that faithful day
when she refused to run away.
I never understood,
and I never thought I would
but she helped me to understand,
and when I fell,
she grabbed my hand.
I know that she's my friend
Because I believe her when she said,
"Friends until the end."

This poem was dedicated to my friend Christy Kim. However, we haven't talked for over a year, but the dedication was at the time I wrote the poem, so I can't go back on it. So the last couple of lines in this poem are actually lies, but oh well...
