Once Upon a Time

saveandsound's picture

  Once upon a time we used to be best friends

You would tell me I would always be okay

And if you can recall, when we promised

Than I know that we will stay the same  

  Our familys would take trips everywhere

And that pulled us closer in a new way

I know we promised, but I am not sure 

Maybe though, if we stay best friends

   You were my first everything

It just made everything difficult easier

Your the only guy person I would have chosen

You helped balance me and make me who I am

   Once upon a time we drifted

I thought we would never go back to where we came

I didn't want to ruin that, where do we stand?

I want to tell you my whole world, can I still?

    You started dating girls

I know I have zero reason for jealousy

But seeing you disappear out of my hands

Shreaded me to tears, you were my best friend

    I still try to pretend around you

I think its the only way to make us stay

I think I have lost you for, good forever

So I hide how I desperatly need and miss you

    Once upon a time we moved to new atmostphere

High schools how I thought it would be

Me, desperatly breathing without you

You, breathing perfectly without me

    I try not to remember our friendship

I see you before sports practices 

Barley a head nod, not even a word

We made new friends, what now?

   I have noticed you with her

Shes pretty, smart, funny, amazing, and fun

I want to congradulate you

But she isn't good enough, its in your eyes

    Once upon a time we grew up

I barley remember what we were

I haven't thought of you for five years

What were we again?

    College is dangerously dire

The courses are so difficult

All my teachers are so brutal to me

But somethings missing

   I don't party much, at least

I do my best to stick to the school

Try not to move around, meet people

No matter what I do, I can't stop thinking of you

   So once upon a time I knew you

And I was happy I did, truly happy

I got jealous and nervous, I wish I could say other

But we know I was never a good lier

   So I am writing to you now

There is something to be said...

 Once upon a time we were best friends

And without you, living, could've never be the same.
