A conversation between blogs. This took place on the young writers project website.

Megdempsey:
I still read her poetry on here every so often
I feel like I know her again
As if I never left her
As if we were still two young souls playing at recess
And every time I do, I miss her
I don't think she realizes how talented she is
How jealous I always was of her
This is a meager attempt at a poem that maybe she will read
Or maybe she never will see
But I wish she knew how much I cherish her and her writing
We don't talk much anymore
We don't walk through life together anymore
But I hope she knows that I still care
I hope she knows I'll still be here if she has trouble
If she needs someone to talk to.
We used to be best friends
I don't have many of those anymore.
This year is painful
This year I've found out who I am and who I wish to be
I miss the familiar faces of my small town
The ones I used to see every day
The ones who knew me as me, who knew my name so well
Who truly cared, who I had in the palm of my hand
And I dropped them. I let them down. I let them fall
And in so doing, hit the ground myself.
I never picked up the phone
I never wrote letters
Now I'm searching for people who will love me for me
The ones I can trust not to leave
The ones who value the blessings of life

Then again, maybe I don't know her anymore
Maybe the town is just as lost as I am
But I still miss them dearly.

Thank you Magzdoodle for continuing your love of writing. I admire you in so many ways.

Oh, Meghann,
I hope you know
I have not forgotten you.

Oh, Meghann,
I hope you know
You are still constantly in my thoughts.

Did you know
That I thought
We would remain best friends
Forever?
That I thought
We would grow up together
And be the godparents
Of each others children?

And I know now
That maybe we won't do
Everything
Together
Anymore,
And maybe
We won't see much
of each other
Later on in our lives,
But you will always
Be my best friend-
My first and truest friend
That I ever had
(and probably ever will).

I could never
Forget you,
Though I know
That these past few years
Have separated us-
I know there is much
That we have forgotten
To tell each other.

But I will always be here;
My ears will always be open
And my heart always full
When you are near

For Meghann,
I hope you know
That I will always love you,
No matter how these years
Have changed us.
