hi there

how are you?

we haven't talked in a while

it's been

a few years

we were best friends

all the way back in third grade

i still have your home phone memorized

remember when we went to your brother's game?

or made photobooth videos

on the old computer

now we're just mutual followers on instagram

sometimes i'll find an old photo of us

and wonder what happened

i was mad for a while

i'm not sure if those lies were true

i used to think you'd be in my wedding

maybe even maid of honor

i can't picture it now

last year we had a class together

it wasn't the same

you've changed

so

much

sometimes

i'll get a memory of us on my phone

even notes calling you

my best friend

what ever happened?

i see you now

walking down the hall with your

new friends

i avoid making eye contact

this doesn't mean i hate you

nothing close to that

i just don't understand

you know

i asked to see you a dozen times

you always had some excuse

all in all

i hope you have a good life

until then

we'll keep avoiding eye contact

in the hallway

love

your ex-best friend
