To the "best friend" that I once knew.
We grew up together since we were two.
I thought that we were going to be "best friends" for life,
but it seemed to be turned out into a lie.
To the "best friend" that I once knew.
We were the best of friends, me and you;
but now it all seems like it's history.
Seems to me now that you're living a brand new story.
To the "best friend" that I once told my whole life story.
You seem better off without me, like I was just history.
Ever since you found someone new,
I was tossed out like, "it's out with the old, & in with the new."
To the "best friend" that is there no more.
You decided for yourself that we weren't friends anymore.
Wished I knew what the reason why,
why you pushed me away & left me to cry.
To the "best friend" that I thought that I could count on.
I was there by your side, even if I was wrong.
I was there all along, but you stopped being my friend.
You're the one who decided it was time for it to end.
To the "best friend" that I stayed true to.
You're the one that I always ran to.
Even when you got a broken heart.
I was there to help heal it when it kept falling apart.
To the "best friend" who thought I never cared.
I guess you never felt my pain, when you left, & I was still there.
I never left you astray like you did to me.
I always wondered what happened to you and me.
To the "best friend" that left me astray.
I am by myself now, since the eighth grade.
Even though you still came to my "Sweet Sixteen".
I will always wonder why you left me.
To the "best friend" that moved on without me.
I decided to move on as well, to where I ought to be.
When you found someone new,
I also found someone too.
To the "best friend" who knew all my past.
Here's to good riddance, this word is my last.
Sincerely,
A "best friend" who was always there,
a "best friend" that always cared.
