I remember seeing you in grade three
Running laps as well.
You waved to me and said hello
Your personality seemed quite swell.
I introduced you to my other best friends
My true ones to this day
You greeted them as friendly as before
Then we all went outside to play.
You were a friendly kid
Someone always so kind.
You helped me when I needed help
And never left me behind.
Us four were the best of friends
Laughing all day long.
You were as happy as could be
Our friendship very strong.
Grade four came
And our group was stronger than ever
And at the time I always thought
Our friendship was forever.
"I don't like Emma"
Is what you said to me after school on day I thought was well.
Then I walked Emma to the bus and she said
"I do not like Annabelle"
Then one day Emma said
"I'm playing with Reese today."
That made you so so mad
You felt like she pushed you away.
I noticed after that
Emma no longer hung out with us.
Our foursome was down to three.
But I wasn't going to fuss.
Grade five came and we met new friends
Several that were nice.
We played and played at recess with them
And easily broke the ice.
"Tag, you're it!" David said
Tagging you when he came.
Instead of continuing to play with us
You whined and quit the game.
I laughed and talked with Jacob
Underneath a tree.
While we talked I couldn't help
But see you glaring at me.
Me and Emma versus you and Bella.
In a game our teacher picked.
I scored the point and made us win
I could see you very ticked.
"Good game," I said to you
Giving you a hug.
You just stared at me angrily
And stormed off with an "ugh"
I came to your house to sleepover
I won in monopoly when we played
You made me clean up by myself and left
It left me slightly dazed.
Then one day you asked me if
David was my boyfriend.
You said because I do fun stuff with him
And leave her alone from beginning to end.
I don't leave you behind.
You follow me around wherever I go
You stick to me like gum to a shoe
You quit the games yourself, you know.
Our teacher gave us work to do in class.
I already was ahead.
You stayed to copy off my work.
And got mad when I said "no" instead.
In grade six, you got meaner and meaner.
Got mad at me for stupid reasons.
You were rude to everyone else
Increasing through the seasons.
You rolled your eyes when I was right
You walked away when we tried to talk.
You talked back behind our backs.
Being your friend was no cakewalk.
You continue to talk bad about me to this day.
I'd say more about you if I could.
I don't know how to tell you this
But if I could stop being your friend I would!
-Your ex-bestie
