best friend in memory

Having a life long best friend who grew apart

We first met when we were seven

I remember cause the sun shone down on you, as if from heaven

I was alone before, you came up to me

After that simple gesture, I was your biggest devotee

All the cheeky whispers in class, all the rolling around in the grass

The teachers knew we were trouble together, we were certain this friendship would last

Moving forward to when we were ten

Oh the things we would get up to back then

Now a little older, we would think we were the king and queen of the school

At that time we were kissing and holding hands in the hall

We would “date” on and off for years

As you swap from female to female of our peers

Where there was one of us there was the other

I mean most of the time people thought you were my brother

Those were the times in primary school

Those were the times before things started to become cruel

Now in year 7, we are big kids now

Now the real challenge to keep our friendship vow

The first few months it was just you and me

Just how it used to be

You would make more friends as I tagged along

I used to think “ wow he really belongs”

Thinking I was lucky to have you as a clutch

But in the end I thought “ god this hurts so much”

We’re now fourteen, where has the time gone

Who would have thought things would have gone downhill from then-on

You would trade me for your new girlfriend

While I'd sit in the corner with a smile on my face and just pretend 

Saying to myself “Am I invisible to you?”

I understand you got someone new

I understand you want to be with her too

But all I ask is that you acknowledge me thats all

Luckily I got some girlfriends of my own

Ones that would never let me spend lunchtime alone

We barely spoke, we barely looked at each other

From then on it felt like I had lost my brother

You'd come crawling back after every heartbreak

And every-time I would take you back, which was a huge mistake

Once I learnt what a real friend is, I had to leave you behind,

As the heartbreak was torturing my mind

I still mourn what we once had 

I still wonder how it got that bad

A piece of you is still with me

With all the things we used to be

To my old brother I wish you all the best 

And wish that your life will be blessed
