We Used to be Friends

You liked the sun, while I preferred the stars

I loved the sea, while you loved the sand

You liked to draw, while I liked to paint

You loved the color yellow, whilst I loved blue

I showed you my inner rainbow, and you said that you loved it

But the next time I met you, you turned away from me

As if I wasn’t anything anymore

We used to laugh together for so long our stomachs hurt

We used to hangout every week

We used to watch cheesy movies because you loved them so

We used to be friends, till you turned me away

The limit to our friendship turned out to be

My inner rainbow instead of the sky

You kept up the pretense of being my friend

After I moved away you gave it up

No more texts

No more calls

No more hanging out 

Because you thought it was a risk

The risk that, because of my inner rainbow

That I might like you as more then a friend

Never mind all of those times

I’d told you that no

I do not have a crush on you because of my inner rainbow

No, I didn’t and never would look at you like that

But this tiny risk was too much for you 

Now that you knew

Never mind that you were my only real friend

The others never wanted to include me

Even before they knew of my inner rainbow

I doubt they know now

But now, it was worse

Though you didn’t tell them of my inner rainbow

You went with them when they excluded me

And it hurt

It still hurts

It’s been two years since it happened

I haven’t heard from you in one and a half

You were the closest friend I’d ever had

But not anymore 

We used to be friends, a long time ago

We used to be friends
