I wrote this one to my childhood friend Sarah, who got me started with poetry in the first place. This is actually the very first poem I ever wrote. I wrote it for her during a visit that she and her mother made to our house. Two years later it was published in one of poetry.com’s books. Yes, I entered one of their $10,000 contests. Looking back, I wish I would have bought that book. Sorry to say I don’t even know the name of it, or I would track down a copy and buy it now.
Sarah, this is for you.

it seems like yesterday
when we played
in the rain
and we wiped each others tears
from our eyes

it seems like yesterday
when we shared
all our pain
and we told of all our fears
we hid inside

it seems like yesterday
when we met
and i regret
growing up to leave
our world behind
