A Good Friend

                      Kristine's her name.
                         Brunette hair,
                        Slender figure,
                      Small ears and lips,
                      A button of a nose,
                        Thick eyebrows,
                      And big brown eyes.
                                
                  We hung out over the summer,
                     Eating at restaurants,
                        Drinking coffee,
                   Walking through the park,
                      Buying her clothes,
                    Talking over the phone,
            And watching "Pee Wee's Big Adventure."
                                
                  It started at a pool party.
                    My sister and I invited,
                     She deciding to skip,
                        Me going alone,
                     No friends to talk to,
                     Bored out of my mind,
                 And Kristine, talking with me.
                                
                I think we're good friends now.
                      She still back home,
                      Me away at college,
                        I write to her,
                        She writes back,
                     But it's not the same,
                 Not like seeing her in person.
                                
                  I hope we stay good friends,
                     Going through college,
                      Going through love,
                      Going through hate,
                      Going through night,
                       Going through day,
                     And going through life.
