Good Bye

We were it 

We were the friends that everyone was jealous of

We were constantly followed by questions on dating 

Even though we always said no 

 

It started by accident 

I used to hate you 

You thought I was annoying 

But it was a happy little accident 

 

Long car rides, inside jokes 

Constantly stealing and sharing food 

Constantly teasing and supporting 

Always there, always laughing 

 

Tear-filled phone calls from me 

Reassuring comments from you 

Slowly but surely bringing me back to reality

And eventually telling me to go to bed, which is what I needed

 

But then it happened 

I got a boyfriend

He didn't like you

It caused tension

 

He and I didn't last long

There were some issues there

It was a short two months 

but I think that that's where the end began 

 

Then you got a girlfriend 

She was sweet and cute 

A good match for you 

She was good for you 

 

Then something happened with you guys 

Somewhere that ended 

Somewhere in there, you started a new relationship

Somewhere in there, she decided she didn't like me 

 

And that's where we began to dig our graves 

That's where it really started to fail 

We started arguing 24/7

About stupid stuff but it hurt 

 

We had some really emotional conversations 

We stopped arguing 

Now we go through the motions 

We're "friends" again 

 

But honestly, it's not us 

It's not long phone calls with me getting distracted every three seconds 

It's not long car rides, filled with inside jokes and WAR 

It's not the same 

 

But that's ok 

This is ok 

We're not the same 

We grew apart 

 

There's no grudge held

It doesn't hurt anymore 

I still love you the same 

But Goodbye 

 

Goodbye forever long phone calls

full of laughter

full of you telling me to get back on track

full of me ignoring you 

 

Goodbye inside jokes 

about bugs 

about short people

about everything

 

Goodbye friend 

A real goodbye now 

No grudges held

pinky-promise
