She gave me a necklace to symbolize our friendship.
But I was afraid the necklace would tarnish
And that our friendship would too.
And it did.

He gave me flowers to symbolize his love for me.
But one by one the flowers wilted, shriveled up, and died.
And I thought his love might too.
And it did.

You gave me nothing to symbolize your feelings,
And nothing is everywhere.
It didn't make me scared because everyone knows
Nothing lasts forever.

inspiration: my feelings/life, relevance: personal, poem, genre: life, genre: love
