we used to have deep conversations on the terrace of your house,
those conversations, to be honest, were the reasons for me to look forward to each day ahead
I miss the times we laughed while making jokes and cursing at each other,
and I remember our promise to stay by each other's sides till we each are on our deathbeds
we waited for those short breaks to talk and share some gossip,
we were seated far away, yet somehow managed to throw papers with the moment's talk
whenever I saw you smiling, I couldn't help but smile too, not going to lie but that smile made my day,
having late-night 'secret sharing' was our thing to do, even though we forgot everything the next morning by the way,
we've spent half our lives together, surviving this cruel world,
but we haven't been talking to each other for a while and I've wondered if it's my fault
I know we both grew up and now we have everyday things far more important,
i'm aware we both may not have wanted this to happen but we sure have drifted apart
talking to you was a habit, more like an addiction if you ask,
though for a couple of weeks, we haven't sent a text or seen each other's face
this feels unreal to me, I just can't believe you're not the first on my 'recent calls',
because you were always the one who taught me during each of my falls
i do regret this, I do but I don't think we could be the same again,
i've changed and you have too and as they say, we have to let go because it's not the same anymore,
it was our childhood when we met, we were just two kids unaware of the future,
as we've grown up, all we have are the memories of us playing on swings and laughing with tears in our eyes.

A/N
I wrote this poem remembering the good times I had with a close friend. When I looked back on all the deep talks and laughter we shared, I realized that now, things have changed, and we're not as close anymore. It makes me feel a bit sad, but I know it's just part of life. It's about accepting that people change and friendships sometimes drift apart and it is completely okay because when some things come to an end, others begin. So don't think about what you lost but keep the memories you made.
Hope you liked it :')
