About the Poem
This is a poem I wrote about my best friend who had just come back from a year of globetrotting. I missed him so much at first but during the course of the year I got over it. Or maybe not?
In a sense, I guess this poem is also about personal growth and maturity.
Getting To Know You (All Over Again) |
| by Peta Wood |
| My mind was rinsed clean When I heard that you had returned My senses felt sharper than They had for months. But I felt no lurch of the heart You did not matter so much to me anymore (Or so I thought) Then we met. You were the same. But you were bewildered by me, My flirting and aggression. My attempt to cure myself of you. Our circle of friends has changed The easy camaraderie and conversation Has evaporated. What now, dear friend? May we start again? I'm sure it will be worth it. |
