You were someone I trusted
You were someone I loved
You were someone I miss.
I missed when you were good, not when you became bored with me
I missed you for the person I wanted you to stay, but you changed
So I grew up.
Your friendship was heavy now, weighing down on every discussion
every time I tried to fix the break in us.
There was always something so bad about the way that you were now, making excuses so many excuses about how you were tired and how you felt bored
so BORED.
I gave up competing for you
I gave up what could have changed in time
Best of all, I gave up my friend.
The friend who was always going to be with HER
always going to like her better
always going to point and laugh and
LIE.
And I can't remember if you cried at all, when we were no more.
I'm willing to bet my last ounce of respect for you
that you didn't.
I'm glad I gave you up.
