Two posts in one day!!!!

Quit laughing... it isn't funny! Yes, I haven't been seen in a month and now I'm on the second post of the day. But I'm pretty sure you wanted to hear this poem. And if you didn't... well, kudos to you! Go ahead and just stop reading this and do your laundry or whatever else is so vitally important and fascinating... :P

Here you go :) Its my latest one, and also one of three I've written since I've been at college.

The Note

I opened up my mailbox.

It was just like any other day.

There were some clouds, some happy times

And often, I didn’t know what to say.

I gave a heavy sigh

And looked down deep inside.

There was a small white envelope

With my name on one side.

It was a very simple note

Plain printed in bold, strong hand.

There was a smudge in one corner

That I don’t think was planned.

I wondered who in the world

Would leave this note for me?

I didn’t know who it could be from

And I wondered, “What could it be?”

So I broke the seal and tore it open

And a card fell from inside.

On the front was a simple flower

But it was my favorite kind.

 I thought “It must have been someone

Who knows me pretty well.”

How they would know to pick my favorite flower

Was more than I could tell.

I picked up the card

And set the envelope aside.

The emotion and nervousness

Was more than I could hide.

I looked both ways

To make sure that no one could see.

But there was not a soul

And I was as alone as I could be.

I opened the card

And I read the first line.

It held my own name

So I was sure it was mine.

I recognized the handwriting

And my heart started to race.

I could hardly sit still

In the same place.

My eyes whizzed through the letter

And this is what I read:

“I know you wouldn’t expect this from me

But it just had to be said.

You are one of my best friends

And I hope that will always be the same.

You brighten a room by walking in,

And I smile when I hear your name.

Please don’t ever change

And I know that I like you.

Will you be my friend forever?”

And there was a signature too…

It was yours!

And my heart was touched.

No one else’s words

Could ever mean so much.

It was just a simple note

But it thrilled my heart.

I knew that a special friendship

Had just had its start.

Make today count!

Always,

~ Amanda ♥
