I don't really know
Why I'm writing this
I probably don't have to
I could just not say
Another word
And everything would
Proceed as normal
But I feel like
I must address it
I must make my apology
Less live with it
So I'm sorry
For trying to put some
Weird kind of emphasis
On our relationship
We're friends
We were friends
We are friends
We'll always be friends
But I had to make it personal
In my youth I bombarded you
I tried to force you
To pick, to choose, to champion
"Who is your best friend?"
Like some high school scene girl
I tried desperately to
Make you say me
But you were years ahead of me
You knew how to spread your love
To show compassion for all
While I sat there
A green blob of jealousy
My constant need for attention
Overflowing like a raging river
It's my fault we grew apart
You grew up and I never did
You blossom as a person
While I sit here a wilt away
I never made the effort
So I'm trying to now
I'm sorry for how I treated you
You're a good friend
Some might say
The best.
