welcome to the midwest
I was wondering if anyone could recommend any poems about leaving. One of my really good friends just left for California and its hard to think about. Thanks guys.

Matt

Ps, mods, if this is in the wrong forum, im sorry, and please move it wherever.
 
do you want poems written by famous people, or just poems written by anyone -- example, BLers, because if you are looking for the latter.... i can probably recommend a ton of them. (if you give me a day or so). but famous people... hmmmm cant think of any off the top of my head.
 
oh... and did you want poems written FOR someone who is leaving... or just poems for yourself, about the situation?
 
I would rather have BLers poems. To the second question, both if you can, but dont worry about it if you dont have time. Thanks a lot for your help! I appreciate (sp??) it.
 
ok Jean Valjean... these are the first ones that come to my head when *I* think of "leaving" poems, or Goodbye poems... they may or may not fit the description of what *you* are looking for... but at any rate, most are a good read... (i hope you dont mind that a few of them are my own)

Goodbye -- for her, by Me ... i wrote this when my best friend (and roommate)'s boyfriend left. How his leaving made ME feel.

Constant Inner Dialogue Prattle as I String a Candy Bracelet for Loupy, by Ashke ... Ashke is an old BLer who wrote this for her boyfriend, Loupy, also a BLer, when he was 2000 miles away. I always loved this piece.

Generic Advice to an Old Friend, by Me ... I wrote this for a good friend of mine when he moved from Boston to Colorado to be with someone, and found himself even more alone out there.

So, you're leaving... Goodbye..., by Me ... i wrote this about my boyfriend of a year and a half just this summer, when he went away for a few weeks with his job to another state. It's what kept me together while he was gone. *this one will probably hit home to you the hardest*

I never got to say goodbye, by Spencer ... I dont know who he wrote this about.. but i think it was for someone who had to be very far away from him.

the summer that should have never ended, by mellabopper ...if i remember correctly this is about friends leaving for college

the final hours (goodbye), by Shuddr2Think ...also written for a friend?/lover? that was leaving.

San Francisco -- by Alkaline Trio, posted by Spencer

Leaving Home, by C Divinity

Leaving Rockford, by PuristLove

All For Nothing, by Me ... i wrote this for a faraway friend, who i once took a 12-hour nightmarish trip to see, but never got to.

That's all i can find for now.

and its not 'goodbye'
it is 'until we meet again'

i really liked that quote in mellaboppers poem.

and wow, All For Nothing was just amazing, as your other poems. Im going to have to start reading this forum more, it really helps, and I thank you, E-girl, for finding these poems for someone you have never talked to before. :)
