Friends...forever?

"I'll push you on the swing!
And then you can push me!"

At the age of nine,
Wasn't everything fine?

I'll be your backbone, and support you
As long as you support me too.

As we drift apart,
We always find each other.
As we sacrifice the world,
We'll always be together.

Hold my hand, and stick with me
"Together," I say, "Together we'll be."

At the age of sixteen,
All that was hidden could finally be seen.

You ditched me for the other girl
You used to be my precious pearl.

Neither did you stick with me,
Neither could you ever see.

What happened to the laughter?
Why are there only tears?
It'll never be 'happily ever after,'
Now there are only fears.

All these years, you were my friend
This broken friendship may never mend.

At last I cannot live without you
It's something that I just can't do.

I feel someone embrace me from behind,
And then let go as I turn around.
It's my old friend, I turn around to find.
"I'm sorry," she said, such a beautiful sound.

I was just a kid, she was just a kid,
Whatever had happened, was something we did.

At long last, our friendship has returned,
"True friendship lasts forever." So we have learned.
