There once was a time
I knew who you were
Now when I see you in the hallways
My memory is a blurr
The time when we’d talk about everything
For about 2 years we haven’t talked about anything.
I loved how we were bad at singing
But we didn’t have a care
Or that everyone would stare.
You were the person I looked up to
I see you now and all that comes to mind is ew.
I don’t think you feel the same about me.
That’s okay, because without you I feel free.
I still miss you but only the person you used to be.
Oh how I’d give everything for those times back
But now it’s just a soul you lack.

This was for a class. I wrote it about my ex-bestfriend with a passion. All I have to say now is, thanks for the A!
