That’s five years of friendship
Year one
We met in the hall
Cause I was clumsy and I fell
You helped me up
We exchange numbers
And well we became best friends
That’s five years of friendship
That we just threw done the drain
Ending wit ha goodbye
Because we couldn’t handle another fight
Another moment crying
Another screened silence
I couldn’t stand just watching.
That’s five years of friendship
Year two
We were attached at the hip
You me and Rachel
The threesome
Always together
Texting or writing notes when apart
That’s five years of friendship
That we tried to fix
I tried to help
I tried to I swear
But I guess I didn’t try hard enough
And according to you
I only was watching by the sidelines
Helpless and scruff
That’s five years of friendship
Year three
Rachel moves
But its still you and me
I became student body president
You sitting in the crowd
Both in Show choir
Both nearly the same
That’s five years of friendship
I met you early 6th grade
Joined at the Hip through Junior High
But then in dreaded horror
We walked into High School
I say you the first day
You had change
So did I
But best friends get through this right?
That’s five years of Friendship
Year four
High school now
I walk to you
At our table….
You didn’t say
You didn’t say anything
That’s five years of friendship
We spent two of them fighting
Because you wouldn’t talk
Because I was scared
A stupid fight that took our friendship
And tore it into parts
But sometimes Goodbye
Though it hurts the most
Is the only way.
That’s five years of friendship
Year five
We both have changed
Obviously not for the better
Everything we do
Ends in tears, secrets and hatred
Why?
That’s five years of friendship
Five years that I called you my best friend
And when we said goodbye
It hurt
I don’t want it to be this way
But for my heart
I just can’t take the pain anymore
So sorry I’m selfish
But I spent 2 years trying
That’s five years of friendship
Holding secrets and memories
And Somehow last night
due to an endless fight
Five years came to an end.
Author notes
Dear Jessica,
You will be missed, but as you said sometimes the best things come to an end for the better, and it hurts your heart when it happens, but in the end we know it was for the better.
