“Friends forever,” you promised.
“Together till the end”
We did everything together.
You were my best friend.
You were always my best friend,
You always knew what to say.
Even thought we had our arguments,
You made everything okay.
You made everything seem better.
Somehow you knew when I was sad.
Making jokes and laughing,
You made the sad, glad.
We slowly faded away.
I was here you were there.
One slow week after the next,
I hade no idea when or where.
But somewhere along the line,
We slowly came apart.
Things were changing,
It tore a hole in my heart.
It was like a ring without a bell.
A poem without a rhyme.
It was like a flower without a smell.
We were running out of time.
I wake up to sunlight on my face,
And for a moment I forget.
Then a cloud passes by,
And I realize, this is it.
Suddenly we were miles apart,
Two different people with nothing the same.
Although deep in our heart,
Neither of us were to blame.
We are in two different groups of friends,
It was always you and I,
But that’s didn’t change the feelings,
Our loss of friendship made me cry.
You are growing older, and so am I,
You will always be my best friend.
Even though things have to change,
They don’t always have to end.
There’s the people you’ve known,
And the people you’ve met.
Even though were not as close,
We’ll still be best friends I bet.
