I watched you walk away.
I felt myself, and our friendship crumble.
I trusted you.
I gave you part of myself.
I gave you my honesty.
I gave you my loyalty.
And all you gave in return was,
Pain.
A broken heart.
Tears.
Sorrow.
You threw me down.
The saddest part was while you walked away with your new friend, you didn't look back to see if I got back up again.
As they said, betrayal never comes from your enemies but those close to you.
I'm staying up till 3 am missing someone who doesn't miss me.
All these sad playlists playing while I'm thinking about you.
Don't you get the same waves of despair?
Never planned that one day I would be losing you. While we ran, never thought about you go.
Why did you have to go? These tears wouldn't stop running down my cheeks as I sit and stare where we would run and laugh.
Was it not enough anymore?
~~~~~
Memories.
We would ride down the hill, on your board. Screaming when it would go fast and laughing when it slowed.
You were there by my side, to make sure I wouldn't fall. Do you have any idea how much you meant to me?
We rode on your scooter. We learned how to laugh with you. Was it fake?
Why did you cause me this sadness? Was it part of a plan? revenge? Did I deserve this?
Why does God take them away?
I don't know. All I know is they all leave. At one point. That is what you taught me. And I won't thank you for it. Just learn.
Because now if you push me down I won't look to see if you'll look back. I'll get up because that's what you taught me from leaving.
