Since seventh grade I've been observing you from afar,
You were obviously not in the clique as I was,
You were always on your own, but you had friends,
But for me before, having lots of friends was a must,
During eighth grade, I thought to myself lots of things,
I knew it would be the start of everything,
Everything new and exciting, like riding a roller coaster,
But whenever I looked at you, you seemed contented with anything,
Sure my dad's a rich man, yet he left us, and I hate him now,
Your mom left you too, but the reason was fairly reasonable,
I always thought what if my dad had just died rather than left,
For me, could knowing true love be even possible?
Ninth grade, girls from our class were getting wilder,
It was like an epidemic, everything was out of control!
Yet you just sat there, reading your bible,
What's with that book? It's just filled with what I considered 'crap' from John and Paul!
Tenth grade, I noticed something oddly different in you,
Well for me it was different because you did it voluntarily,
You started tutoring kids from our sister school and stuff like that,
It's like you've made a bucket list, but you didn't do it wearily,
Eleventh grade, it was close to the year's end,
We played a prank on this guy, but it went terribly wrong,
I got almost expelled, yet I was saved, but it came with a price,
I was ordered to do stuff like you do, and listen to a play with songs,
Twelfth grade, this was the time I was tasked to do the punishments,
I had no time for my friends; I was sucked up in your environment,
Yet day by day, I learned things which I didn't expect that would make me feel good,
And without me knowing, I fell in love you, and that was a fulfillment
And now, it's been ten years since you had passed away, Jamie,
I didn't remarry, and I honestly don't have any plans of doing so,
It's been really hard without you, but with your love, I've been able to cope,
I've been able to because I know you believe in me, and this was what I wanted to show
Love,
Landon
Slowly, he folded the piece of paper and gently placed it beside Jamie's picture. He stood up and went out to his balcony. The view was great from there. He could see the city, and the sea. The wind softly brushed against his sides. It reminded him of what Jamie said. Love is like the wind. You can't see it, yet you can feel it. He sat on a chair and closed his eyes as cool breeze continued to brush against his face and arms.
"Wherever you are Jamie, I know you're watching over me. I'll always be at my best, for myself, for everyone else, and for you."
It had been hard for the past ten years without her, but because she made him believe that anything's possible as long as you have faith in yourself and in God, Landon Carter just smiled to himself as he listened to their song and reminisced the moments he had spent with his beloved.
Just a little poem I made earlier. Hope you like it. Leave a review too :).
