An Old Friend
We met in kindergarten
When she was new to the town.
We instantly became friends
That were inseparable.
We went into first grade
And everything was great.
Sleepovers and laughs
Seemed endless.
Going through school,
We never fought once.
Girl drama always existed
But we stayed united against it.
Middle school came and
Everything was fine,
Until girl drama caught
Up with us finally.
Soon it wasn’t just us,
More friends, then groups.
I think I realized that we
Are more different than I thought.
Gradually we grew apart,
Although it hurt us.
We knew it was for the best,
Because we couldn’t stay this way.
We are still friends,
But never like we once were.
I wonder what would be if we stayed strong.
I wonder if you do too.
