Title a poem as you would start a letter with Dear “insert name here”, then go on to write a poem to the person whose name you used. That person could be real or fully imagined. The contents of the poem could contain truth or fiction, but you must keep in mind the duel nature of this poem, it is a letter as well as a poem.

Dear Nadine,

I love you with all my heart.
I appreciate you and your friendship
The times we shared -I truly cherish.
The memories we made
will always be in my heart -unforgettable.
I will never forget
how comfortable you made me feel in your presence.
And how you always had my back.
You were my true friend.
I love how we’d be able to pick things up where we left them.
Thank you for contributing towards my growth.
Thank you for being part of my life.

Times have changed
we find it hard to catch up for months on end.
I don’t harbor any hard feelings towards you.
We have sort of drifted apart,
yet I feel connected to you
with the friendship we once shared.

I wouldn’t say you’re a stranger
I still love you
and wish you the best in life.
It’s just that I never imagined our friendship
would come to this.
This space where finding the time to talk would get so difficult.
The silence between us is awkward.
I guess this is the end of the road for us.

We must part ways.
As much as I didn’t want to accept it,
I am, in this moment, writing to you.
Farewell Special one.
