Old Friend

I thought we used to have a fun and memorable friendship.

You never bored me.

I made you smile when you were sad.

But, there you are, across the hall,

Laughing with your new friends.

Do you not remember?

Do you not remember who I was?

Who I am?

I want you back in my life,

But you are clearly not wanting me back in your life.

You act like I was nothing but a "past" friend.

I was nothing but a mere memory.

I do not enjoy being that unimportant to you.

It pains me inside.

It cracks my heart in two.

However, you moved on.

With new friends,

New girlfriends,

And new attitudes.

I do not think I can take seeing you everywhere I go.

You give me a look in your eyes that tell me out past stories of our friendship,

But you are blank at the same time,

Just blank.

Blank.

I do not want to be the person you keep your face blank.

I need someone who will be there for me,

Someone who is trustworthy,

Not to ditch when he cannot take me anymore.

I need someone who is NOT you,

But I think I am trying to convince myself of that.
