I wrote this poem after I realized that my friendship with my best friend was over. We had been fighting for a few months, and then after a day in school where we walked by and totally ignored each other, I knew we could never be friends again.

This poem originally was published in Friendship Poems - Teen Poems about Friendship

The End
I turn the corner, and there you are,
While we both pretend not to see the other.
We keep walking, our eyes straight ahead,
And I'm grateful, as we pass one another.

We were best friends for one year,
A year of laughter, a year of tears.
In the short time of bliss,
We had promised to be friends for years.

But those ‘years' have now been altered,
And the friendship has lasted just one.
I know that it is the end,
This is a friendship that will not be won.

You don't understand why it ended,
Or that I didn't want it to.
But sometimes in life,
You have to do what you have to do.

This was one of those cases,
I could no longer call you my friend.
I now know it can never go back,
And I have to realize, this IS the end.

    This poem is so true i've had a ton of best friends ans some of left for stupid reasons at that. I realized just this year that i stopped hanging out with my true best friend we were not close anymore and it was all my fault but she was there for me when all my friends weren't but it's a sad poem but losing one friend always means ur getting another and that is a great feeling

  • Sahar
    it describes my own feelings toward some friendships.
  • Jessica
    It's totally the same as me and my soul sister. We had a fight for months when we're nine, and throughout the whole year when we're ten, we didn't talk to each other or even bother to see each other. The surprisingly WEIRD thing is, we became closer than ever this year, when we're eleven.
  • samantha
    I LIKE UR POEM IT WAS THE BEST I HAVE A BEST FRIEND LIKE THAT
  • Tori
    That was an awesome poem. I loved it!
  • Rain
    i read through all the poems for my assignmnet but when i came to this poem i was so touched by it coz i understand how the poet feels as this thing have happen to me. I have a good friend in primary school. After graduation me and my best friend went to the same secondary school but were in different class. I did not know why. One day i passed her i smile and waved to her calling out her name but she did nbot reply nor give any sign to show that she saw me . she walk away with her groups of new friend. I am hurt . We were best friend in pri sch n now. ? Does heving new friend means having to abondan the old ones. Did i did anyhting wrongly. ?

    I would have to givbe this porm an 11 on a 0-10. This poem shows exaccally what i am going through this year. i mean being in 9th grade is hard enought ecpeally without you ex-bestfriend, but i can work my problems out with someone new and she has become like a role model so ending a friendship isnt always bad it just depends on how you look at it

    hey i do understand this poem! I have been in some of the same positions where u just have to tell ur friend that your friendship has to end. even if they didnt get it u had to tell them this. i have done it before and it hurts but u just have to sometimes. i have also had it done to me but i just took what she said and that was that. Dev, u r and awesome poet! this is a great poem.

  • TRISHA
    OMG THIS POEM WAS THE MOST SAD POEM EVER BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPEND TO ME BE4 TOO .
  • Rafaela
    from 0-10 i would give this poem a 10 cause it also reminds me of my ex best friend, we were such great friends until someone came into our lives and i started hanging out more with that person that with my best friend, now everytime we see each other we give dirty looks and not even say a word to each other only when we say like "what's your problem, if you have to say something about me tell me in my face!" i know it hurts her but she won't admit it only to my brother, and i just wish i felt the same way like her but it's just that. i don't. i mean it doesn't hurt me cause i know that i got friends and that i got to meet new ones, but like she won't understand and now that she is mad at me and wants all the best friends bracelets and charms, and like i say i hate her but sometimes deep inside me i think i still want to be her best friend but i want to be the other girls best friend, too. I love your poem! it actually reminded me of all the happy moments i went trough with my ex best friend.
  • Amber
    Oh My Gosh! when i read this poem i thought of nothing but a friendship that i used to have! we were friends for one year and we had laughs and cries and i thought it was really weird that it described exactly what our friendship was like! THIS POEM ID GREAT!
  • Samantha

  • Jamie
    i enjoyed this poem. i was recently wondering how to let another friend of mine go. now i realize that things need to be let go of, and it's okay to give up things. it shouldn't take effort to be a friend, it should be natural to be a friend to that person. and if it is not, get out.
  • lebogang
    this poem was talking directly to my siuation, i had a friend that i loved but she some times maniplated my hospitailty as a good friend, the words in this poem have always been in my heart, but i never knew how to utter them

Her and I drifted sooo much because of things she started doing afterwards. Thankfully we haven't drifted completely and we're trying to get our friendship back. ANYWAY. great poem!
  • Kayla
    i can totally understand this poem, it's like i wrote it guess it is exactly what's happening to me.

    I just lost my best friend tonight. My best friend was a guy. But, regardless, he was the sun in my sky and the rainbow at the end of my storms. I will miss him so much. This poem really moved me and it made me realize that I am not alone with this feeling of emptiness.
  • erica

  • Carrie
    I loved this poem. The same thing happened to my friend and I. we had been friends for almost 8 years and then she suddenly stopped talking to me. For weeks i didnt do anything and when i did it all went down hill for me. We just started talking about 3 months ago after a 9 month avoidment toward one another.
  • Sam

  • CC
    This is the only poem I've read that actually reminds me of my life. I had a best friend for one year and we just stopped talking. Then I realized that we couldn't ever be friends again. It's crazy how that works and I'm glad I'm not alone!
  • amany
    i loved ur poem it was realy good cause i have trobles w/ my friends and one of them i don't talk 2 anymore so it reminded me it ok things like that happen
  • Gina
    I like this poem it says so much and explains even more.
  • Phil
    I liked the poem in some parts. You really put the feeling into how much friendships mean are how fast they can be lost. Although, even though this is my opinion, if you lose a friend over a fight, then they were never a true friend. Friends are people you love and who will always be there for you no matter what happenes and if powerful friendships end that fast then something was missing.
  • Steph
    I know what this poem is about and it is just like what happens in life. The ones that you think are the ones that will be around forever you aren't friends with a year later. I love this poem and I think everyone knows what this poem is about.
  • Emily
    When I read this poem, I got goosebumps. Its such a true poem in that friendships come and go. Thats just how life is.
  • mousy
    This poem explains exactly what happened between me and my best friend. We were so close, and then in an instant with all this other stuff, it was gone. At the end of it all, she put this poem in her web info. and I knew right away it was for me. This poem made me cry for hours. It's such a wonderful poem, but so sad and so hurtful at the same time. If only things didn't change.
  • Amy
    Hey, dev! I can really relate with what you are talking about. I've had 'sorta the same situation. (a few times) You see, I've had to break off like 3 friendships, two of which were people who were once my best friends. It's really a tough and sad thing to do. One of the girls that i told even started crying. Thank you for writing this.
  • Kelc
    I really wish that it wasnt true, but it is, and i hate myself for not understanding why. this poem is the exact thing that happend between myself and "Nicole". I just really wish i knew how to tell her i wish it hadnt ended. this poem i will give to her, with a final goodbye.
  • mari
    I think this is a great poem i would like to send it to one of my x-friends but i though it would be to sad
  • kt
    this poem is really well written. i totally relate to this poem, as this happened to me but with about 6 different girls who i was relaly close to and it really hurts. its been 6 months since ive spoken to them and in the last week i have been having little conversations and it feel so weird because we shared so much and it was like nothing happened but deep down i knew it was the end and things will never be the same again between us, because thats just the way it has to be. but it does make you feel like you're whole world is gone and takes a long time to get over something like this. thankyou for writing such a good poem and wording everything so brilliantly!
  • Line
    This poem describes my "friendship" with this one guy perfectly. I started Crying when I read it
  • sherl
    This is exactly what I went throught this year. I thought I was alone. Me and my 3 best friends(we were inseprable) split apart this summer because of our boyfriends or should i say theres. I thought oh they'll get over it in a day or two. but as it turned out they never really felt the same for me again. This is the way they feel. This poem is very touching and I think whoever wrote this should write more, you have great potential!
  • EmJ
    Hey, your poem is brilliant. I've been having a lot of problems and fights with my best friend lately and I didn't know if I should forgive her or not, but I knew she'd hurt me again. Your poem really helped me decide what to do. Thanks a lot and more for your help. Your poem is definitely inspirational!
  • Rhea
    I read this poem, and a tear came to my eye. This is a very touching poem. i thought that going to college, people would grow out of the whole high school scene, but they don't. I lost some very good friends, just cause they had nothing but jelousy. It's hurtful. Whoever wrote this is very gifted..it's a wonderful poem
  • sammy
    This poem really made me think about me and a friend and how we were kinda fighting and that I really didnt want are friendship to be other so thanks for letting me think about that you really opend my eyes
  • Cynthia
    This poem is very good, it gets me thinking on wht if tht were to happen 2 me, i would feel sooo sad, i feel bad 4 the person who would have to go through finding a new best friend, but i hope they do, cuz u always need som1 ele ther 4 u.
  • jasmine
    ur poem is perfect! its like im reading my own life and nearly brings me to tears to think that me and my best friend have grown apart after such a short time. Thankyou for inspiring me to really work hard to get my friendship back. i hope i never see the day when i walk past my friend and act as if we dont know each other! Good luck with finding new friendship!
  • M.

  • agam4223
    This is probably the first and only poem that I have ever read that is exactly like my life...I was so shock to find that there is even a poem like this that exists... Well..I really like it so I sent it to my one and only use to be best friend who I know will never be friends again...but I guess that is the best way for both of us to take part... Well it was a pleasure to express old times...and I hope that this poem will continue to touch the world like it has this day

  • Krista
    This made me cry, recently the same thing happened to me, except we were best friends for 4 years. she has better things in her life now, something she has never had ever before, a boyfriend! I vote for your poem.
  • me
    This same situation happened to me!!! You couldn't seperate me and my bestest friend. Then we went into 7 grade and we didn't have classes together so we kinda drifted apart. I got mad at her for some stupid reason and I was to ashamed to say I was sorry. We said that nothing could break a friendship this strong but then my one little mistake screwed it up. When i read this poem i cried and cried becasue i finally realize what has happened and now it can't be changed!!! So part of me thanks you and the other part wishes that I never read this!!!!
  • Vanessa

  • Jennifer
    That was beautiful....I'm facing a move and my best friend and I are closer than ever, but some of my friendships w/people here are going to end....u put into words what I feel inside. thank you.
  • Emily
    I love this poem she wrote. The reason: I once had a friend for three years, she moved away, and now won't even talk to me. I have tried to talk to her but she won't answer back and I know it is truly the end even though it is hard to understand when you don't know what went wrong. Thank you for writing this poem and helping me realize to just let go. I think it is for the best.
  • William

  • Toni
    This poem expresses the feelings of how must friendships end up. It is a wonderful way 2 express mixed feelings all in one. Its not harsh, but gets the point of break up out. If anyone has gotten in a fight i bet they would enjoy reading this poem 2 c, lots of people each day are going through this, they are not alone. Very well done.
