"Forever". That's what you said. That's what I felt. That's what I believed.
We always shared everything. We used to understand each other. We were a powerteam. It didn't matter what for, together we would do an amazing job. We were unstoppable. We had big dreams. Our room should have neon lights, our appartment a map of the world on the wall. That's how it should have been.
But you met her. Should I've been jealous? Maybe I'd have stopped this, but I was too innocent. I thought you liked me too much, our bond was too strong to break. And I was wrong, so wrong.
You two started to spend more time together. She was your friend, as I had my friends. Our lifes grew apart. Yet we chatted and met often. Then less. You stopped starting the conversations. You stopped caring.
Honestly, I can't be mad, I understand it. She's so positive. I love her vibe too. She makes you happy in a way I never knew. Maybe I was a great partner to work with. That's appearently everything people want me for. For some reason I'm not useful for the fun. Maybe I'm too mature for it. Maybe I'm not into partying. And maybe I just brought you down. As soon as I mentioned a topic related with depression, you would avoid it. But what if I needed to talk about it? Didn't I listen to all your drama with your former childhood friend when she behaved like a bitch to you? Yes, I did. I was always there. We had deep conversations. I thought you'd like that. But only when it were your topics. As soon as I needed to talk about my problems it would be different.
Therefore I understand you prefer spending your time with someone who makes you truly happy. But I needed you. Not anyone else, I needed YOU. But you left. You didn't only break our bond. Also my heart. And God, sometimes I get so angry thinking about the way you replaced me. But then I just can't, because I still love you. And I miss you so bad you can't imagine. As you can't imagine how bad it hurts not having you in my life anymore.
Now you're popular, you're cool, you're all we ever wanted. But on your way to the top you just left me behind... yea, you said "Forever". I'd never have guessed that it was a lie. Congratulations! Thanks to you I have trust issues now and believe everyone will eventually leave me. Call me dramatic... it would be a lie. Just another lie coming out of your mouth. This time I won't believe you though. Because this is what I feel. "Forever"... ironic.
