Lyssa's Poem Book

Friend

It's a little strange

Paying just to be your friend

It's not what you asked for, but I'd give it to you

Over and over again

Because if I don't, you'll never know me

But instead we could be closer

Closer than anyone else like us

In another reality

Like the ones I used to know

I forgot to tell you who I am, to even say hello

But you don't mind, because I've always been around

Questions feel like habits, right?

It's like you knew me all along

But then I had to go

Couldn't say goodbye because you looked at someone else

But that's okay, they're just like me

They're just like me, I bet you agree

For now I'm just a repeat 

Of everyone you ever met

But someday I'll be someone 

You'll probably know by heart

You'll look me in the eye and think "it's you!"

But first I have to make some money

And spend a lot of time

It might be years before we speak again

But know that we will meet again

Because I won't stop until I'm your friend

I won't stop until I'm your friend
