I Used to Know You
This poem is based on old and broken friendships. Friendships that did meant the world to you at the time but faded away to a distant memory. Whether or not on good terms now, you will always have a place for them.

We may not be side by side anymore.
But,
I hope you think of me when you walk in the rain.
I hope you think of me when you drink your favorite coffee.
I hope you think of me when you ice skate.
I hope you think of me when you watch the movies we used to binge.
I hope you think of me often.
I hope you think of how you lit up my life for a short period of time.
I hope you think about how hard you made me laugh.
I hope you think about all the times we spent together.
But more importantly,
I hope you think of me when you’re broken.
When you feel like the world is crumbling,
I hope you think of me as someone who will always help you up.
During those calls you used to make when you were on your last straw and I convinced you to be rational.
I hope you think of me as someone who will always have your back even when it’s not beside mine.
I hope you think of me often.
