in depth look at poem: I wrote this poem for Beck because I knew I would miss her while I was gone and wanted her to know that. (and the flowers - I told her that I wanted to send her flowers for her birthday because I would be gone during it..so I added that at the end.)


without you

Beck, Beck, the person closest to my heart
I don't know how I'll survive this weekend
without you to talk to, my friend.
I'm having to struggle from the very start
I wish we never had to part.
because when we're together the notes you send
makes me wish out time together wouldn't end.
although I rarely cry, I'm going to start
because I won't be near you for a while.
I won't feel your hugs surround me with peace
nor will the ache in my heart cease.
I won't be at peace, nor will I smile
until I talk to you for several hours.
I write this with smiles, yet sadness within, here's your flowers.

Dedicated to:
    Beck Walden (jjnrw)
