Happy Birthday Maddi, a wonderful, funny, kind and loyal friend. We miss you. This poem is for you & Jay, and for all the special best friends who are there for each other, always xxx ------------------------------------------------------------- Two best friends ----------------- I made false memories Of two best friends First days at uni The letters penned Renting a flatshare With parties wild Their handmade presents Pile up inside I made false memories Of two best friends Ever a kind word And books to lend They do some travelling But stay in touch Because losing your best friend Would be too much I mix false memories Of two best friends Into the real ones Friendship extends It’s self indulgent Still I pretend We haven’t lost you Can’t comprehend I made false memories Of two best friends My own projection Without an end Frozen in ice Two childhoods saved Kept hidden in one Alone But together Always
