Dear Zuri,

you must be my friend
right?
but sometimes i don't know
right?

we were so close
right?
and then we weren't
right?

i told you everything
right?
and you returned nothing
right?

i should have known then
right?
that you really weren't there
right?

that our friendship was just some figment of my imagination, but i still stay close because i don't want to be a complete outcast, so i'll sit next to the group at lunch, and say nothing as we walk in the hallways between classes.

and i should have known because

friend

ends with

end

you are my friend
wrong!
you really care
wrong!

this was genuine
wrong!
you were there
wrong!

i was okay
wrong!
you were fine
wrong!

you helped me
wrong!
you listened
wrong!

but i don't blame you. you didn't know, and i did not realize how much you hated hearing me complain about all my little problems. sorry, but i need to not be a complete outcast, so i'll sit with you at lunch, and say nothing as we walk in the hallways.

but friend ends with...

end

so this is done.
