Ex Best Friend

I thought about you again tonight.

I still have that class pic from 10th grade

The only one I'll ever get of you.

You look so happy without me

I see that carefree smile.

I bet you don't stay up late

Thinking of me.

I bet you don't remember

The day you hugged me

And said you'd never let me go.

I wonder where you are right now

I wonder if you're having fun

I know you've got a new best friend

Does she ever remind you of me?

Or has the era of you and I

Completely faded away?

I'm sorry if it was my fault

I'm sorry if you thought I didn't care

I never returned much of your affections

But I didn't know how

I was too scared.

Sometimes I still see your face in the dark

Rising up like a misty vision.

You smile at me

And I take a walk down Memory Lane.

In my dreams I smile back

And then the scene changes

And you hurt me again

Your words tear me to shreds

And all the good times

That used to be turn to dust

And blow away.

I know you were never a genuine friend

Maybe I wasn't either

But in another life

Another universe

I still feel we could've been.

I know quite some time has passed

But I miss you.
