A Year Ago

A year ago
Feels as if it was five years ago.

A year ago,
I was her friend.

A year ago,
I never would have imagined
What she would do to me
And how she would hurt me.

A year ago,
I was fighting for a friend
To please come back to me,
And now I realize
All of that effort
Went to waste.

A year ago,
I gave up trying on that friendship.

A year ago,
He and I had been friends
For four months.

A year ago,
Everyone was asking me
When we would go out,
If we were secretly dating
Or why we hadn't kissed yet.

A year ago,
He and I were falling in love.

A year ago,
I never would have imagined
That love would be gone.

A year ago,
I was so secretive
And kept to myself.

A year ago,
I never could have wondered
At how close she and I are know,
From the way we walk together,
Singing Sincerely, Me,
And from the way
She listens to me when I need it.

A year ago,
I never thought
I could have so much fun
And love
And happiness.
Hope,
Sunshine,
And him.

A year ago,
I didn't think I would leave him...
Or that he would leave me.
It's funny how so much can happen
In just one year,
How many tears you can cry
And how many laughs you can make.

And here I am,
A year later,
Three therapists in my record,
Two friends shorter,
One boyfriend lost,
But one friendship stronger than ever.

A year ago,
I never would have imagined I would be here.
