We were friends
And most of the time it was great.
We hung out,
Laughed together.
I have a lot of fond memories -
That film we always watched,
We saw it again recently,
It wasn't the same.
You got me through
Some of my toughest schooldays.
You also caused them.
You'd cut me down.
Those memories still affect me.
I'm still insecure
About not knowing what to say.
You made me feel it was a bad thing.
Other people are showing me it isn't.
Or you'd meet someone new,
Find something more exciting to do,
More grown up.
Then you'd get bored of that and come back.
I was always there.
I remember the exact moment I realised
We wouldn't always be friends.
Ten minutes of silence walking to school.
No animosity,
I just couldn't be bothered to try anymore.
We don't need each other
Like we used to.
I still have a laugh with you.
I still trust you with secrets.
But there aren't going to be many more milestones.
I can see
There's a limit on our future conversations.
The door's starting to lock between us.
Behind me.
