It feels bad and sad, my dear friends,
When two people who met because of me
Cease to see me, no more reparation,
I felt free in their company.

I really feel the difference,
When two people who have changed the most,
When I wasn't in their presence,
Now feel no difference in my absence.

It's a strange feeling, you know,
To witness the bond that I helped create
Is now drifting apart, it's no longer about me,
It's about the connection they continue to cultivate.

I didn't feel bad when they changed,
Life is all about development and growth,
But when they chose each other in exchange,
I felt a pang of jealousy, my heart engaged.

Seeing them together without me,
It stung like a thousand little knives,
I couldn't speak, couldn't free my heart,
As they built their friendship and lived their lives.

I feel bad, I'm jealous,
When I see someone who's with everyone but me,
But I know that love is fervent,
While friendship can be shared, which makes us free.

Today we're friends in name only,
But the truth lies deeper,
It's not true friendship, it's a shame,
To see our connection fall flat.

Both, to this day,
Are still friends, close and firm,
Perhaps people will say with dismay,
That we deserve our own bond that shines bright.

But I've come to realize,
That I deserve more than a half-hearted bond,
I deserve true friendship, not a disguise,
Not this leftover piece to disappear.

So while I see them move on,
I'll cherish the memories we once shared,
But I'll go my own way, not be a pawn,
In a friendship that was never truly sustained.

It feels bad and sad, but it's a lesson,
To value myself, my worth,
To seek true connections, a confession,
That friendship should bring joy, not want.

So goodbye to the past,
To the friends who left me behind,
I'll cherish the memories, they'll stay forever,
But I'm moving on to find my own way.

I'll look for true friends,
Who appreciate me for who I'm,
Not friends who cheat, who make amends,
I'll build a bond that really pops.

So it feels bad and sad,
But it's a lesson I've learned,
To value myself, not to be angry,
To seek true friendships, to yearn.

Because in the end, it's not about me,
But about the connections we make,
To find the ones that set our hearts free,
And cherish the friendships we share.

So goodbye to the past,
To the friends who left me behind,
I'll go forward, to walk my own path,
To seek true bonds, in kind.
