One day we were laughing,
Best Friends,
Brother and Sister,
Next thing, I’m the sister you hate,
I just want to ask you a question,
What happened?
I want to know why all the times you made me laugh
Turned into the times you made me cry.
All the times we’d say ‘Remember when?’
Turned into ‘Shut up and go away’
I just want to know,
What happened?
When did sweet and considerate
Turn into cold and cruel?
When did phone conversations lasting for hours,
Turn into “What do YOU want?”
When did the laughter and interest in my words,
Turn into insults and eye rolls?
When did my best friend,
Become my enemy?
Can you tell me one thing,
What happened?
I just want you to be the guy
That stood up for me when I got scared,
That hugged me in front of his friends,
Because he wouldn’t see me for a year,
The one who I could tell my problems to,
And he could tell me right back.
The guy that let me laugh and goof off,
No matter how stressful the day went.
The guy that I knew everything about.
I just want to ask you,
What happened?

I wrote this because of some issues my best friend and I have been having. I just want to know what happened, because it's like he changed overnight. I miss him.
