You gave me this notebook
So I suppose
I should write
Something down in it

I dropped you off
At the airport
An hour or so ago
And you told me not to cry

I said I wouldn’t
But I cried anyway

Such a generous gift
God gave me
When He made you

Though years have passed
Since we last saw each other
You will always be
The first true friend
I ever had

Thank you for loving
The girl I once was
Reminding me
That she is still there
Flourishing inside of me
Waiting to be remembered
