I wanted to be best friends forever,
We promised as kids.
We've both changed so much,
I don't think it'd work.
Even if we wanted it,
We don't fit together anymore.
I love you,
I always will.
You are my sister,
Not by blood,
But by heart.
So many memories,
My childhood is complete.
I thank you,
But it's time to move on.
You say I can't be replaced,
And I know it's true.
There is no one else,
Who can give you our past.
But that doesn't mean I will be in your future,
We don't click anymore.
I always feared this,
That one day we'd move apart.
And it's here now,
And I hate it more than anything.
Friendships are supposed to come easy,
Especially the best ones.
Ours doesn't,
Not like it used too.
An ocean has come between us,
No secrets or feelings are shared.
Summer's of no contact,
Only at school we converse.
Every little bit has added up,
And our puzzles don't connect anymore.
It's okay to move on,
It will hurt like heck.
But it's doable,
And it's the best for both of us.
I won't ever forget you,
You've made my life complete thus far.
Let's both face the facts,
We can't call each other best friend.
