I'm not a huge fan of poems, but I like yours. This one as well.

There is this nostalgic feeling of long lost childhood friend who was more of a crush than just a friend which we all have probably.

Also, you paint a very relatable picture of some regret one might feel with years for missed opportunities in the past.

Weirdly enough, although the end is sad, i kind of like to imagine it allowed her to finally let go

Hi names 22Midnight
hope your doing well, let's get into it!

First Impression: from the title name it seems like this may be about something that someone did that they'll regret for the rest of there life and might be able to forget it but not completely.

I hooked my pinkie around his own,

In that meaningful gesture, our friendship was sown

"An oath never to break..."

"Never to bend..."

I continued, "Even if all is at stake,

We will continue as friends.

And most important of all,

Until the very end,

We will never forget each other."

He shook his hand,

"Never ever."

Little did I know, pain would occur from that promise, and it would be grand.

And so, the promise wasn't to be severed

Or so I thought...

Life had took us separate ways,

But I had him in my mind every single day.

20 years later, on one busy morning, it struck me

Standing only a few yards away... there was he!

And though...

Yes, I know

He looked very busy.

But how can one contain,

An excitement so great?

I dashed to him, my arms stretched wide

I threw them around him with tears in my eyes.

He looked at me

Quizzically

With that lopsided smile of his.

Together once more.

The oath had stayed true!

But then he pushed away from me,

And asked, "I'm sorry, who are you?"
