We were like two peas in a pod
Seeing one without the other was for many very odd
We were practically inseparable
No other friendship comparable
A sentence started by me
Was ended by she
Secrets shared at the dead of night
Till the next day dawned sunny and bright
And then life happened
We were left saddened
School in the east for me
School in the west for she
Goodbye she waved
I hoped our friendship would be saved
Calls made every day
At seven pm prompt, no delay
I enjoyed our talks
As we reminisced about our evening walks
Later, calls to her went unanswered
I was busy, she countered
Messages sent to her with no reply
I was getting to them, she cried
I thought to myself, Oh well
At home, we’d have so much to tell
How wrong I had been
She was not to be seen
A knock at her gate
Alas I had come too late
She had gone out
And that was the beginning of my doubt
Calls to her brother
Talks with her mother
Countless messages sent to her phone
With no responses, leaving me feeling all alone
And then, I saw her…
Sporting casual wear
The world suddenly went still
I shouted her name with all of my will
She kept walking
I kept walking
Moving toward her
As if I were on a dare
Speak to me, I said
I smiled when she turned
Happy that somehow, I had been heard
But she looked at me as if I were dead
Could this be the end?
Were we no longer friends?
Many years have passed
And yet I still feel sad
Truly she had been unfair
Ignoring me without a care
With each new day, I remember our friendship a little bit more
My heart breaks again and again to the core
I utter a silent cry
My throat threatening not to remain dry
A few tears fall down my face
Oh how I wish I could go back to those carefree days!
Days filled with laughter and joy
Days when we had been happy and coy!
