About the Poem

It's hard being in love with your best friend. It's even harder to let go when you realize you were destined to be "just friends."

Not Meant To Be

by Katy Mikelle

There once was a time if I just closed my eyes,
I could see us together as one.
But after these years of growing apart,
I can see that dream is done.
You were the one who knew me inside and out,
And always knew just what to say.
Any problems I had would disappear,
When you said it would all be okay.
There was always a special connection with us,
And these days it seems to be gone.
Whatever we had died a long time ago,
But it's just so hard to move on.
Those times I'd drown in the blue of your eyes,
You never noticed a thing.
There were nights I laid awake and thought,
Of the love our friendship could bring.
No matter how hard I've been trying,
The truth is so hard to see.
I guess it takes a while to let go,
Of something not meant to be.

That poem touch a lot and i like it. It's about what i suffer. I love a boy named Mervin i think but not sure that he always tell the truth he says he love me and then people has started to warned me that he was playing with my love. then i left him with the hope that one day he'll realize how deap my love was for him. But instead he wanted to remain friend i can't bare to see him with other girls. that's why i like that poem.

I love this poem. It describes exactly my feelings about a relationship I am in. It's also comforting to know that I'm not the only one in this particular situtation. Thank you so much!

It was a beautiful poem. That is the way i am feeling now.

Angela

This poem is truly amazing. It expresses the way I feel for this guy that I really like. He still hasn't completely gotten over me but we can't be together because he has a girlfriend. We still talk about everything even his girlfriend. When he talks about her it brakes my heart, because I know we were never meant to be. The poem truly is amazing.

kim

i can't even begin to express how this puts into a nutshell how i've felt about the man i love who just happened to be my best friend. i've looked for someone to fill the void since i lost him, but i know it never will be. thanks for a beautiful poem.i only wish it could change his mind. maybe one day he and i will be together.i guess only time will tell..

kim

i can't even begin to describe what this poem means to me. it captured my life with my love and my best friend whom i miss and love ever so much. i hate to think that we're not meant to be, but i guess only time will tell if we really are. mike, if you ever see this comment..i love you forever darling, and i always will.

Nancy

This poem describes exactly how I feel. I've been in love w/ my bestfriend for a while now, and he doesn't feel the same way. We had something going on, but now he just backed away and left me lost in love!!! We're still bestfriends, but I wish it could be more!!!

Lindsay

very nice poem

lauren

great poem

lucila

I think the hardest part of letting go is moving on.Finding someting new and learning to adapt.Acepting you were not meant to be and noticing the promise of forever wasn't true.Learning to taking the person out of your thoughts,your dreams,&your heart. Falling in love with someone is the hardest thing in life.

Lauren

I really like this poem mostly because it connects to my life (of love) in a lot of ways.
