You built us up to watch us fall
Like we had nothing at all.
You tore me down and made me cry.
You didn't even help me dry my teary eyes.
The next few days were a screaming blur.
It just hurt so much to see you with her.
You laughed at me and said we are just so young.
I shielded my ears from every word
That rolled off your tongue.
I thought that I needed you, and that you were mine.
You were supposed to be mine for all of time.
I didn't understand why you were being so cruel.
It felt like we were enemies fighting in a duel.
You used to be so different and used to be so sweet.
Remember how I gave you my heart
And said it was yours to keep?
Now, you have changed and are not the one I used to know.
But my feelings for you have come and gone.
I no longer love you so.
All I wanted was for you to say you were sorry,
Which, yesterday, you finally did.
It made me so happy,
That I emerged from the darkness in which I hid.
When you realized she was using you,
I felt so very bad.
I realized that sometimes even you need a friend,
Someone to make you feel glad.
I will surely always be that friend
And help you through it all.
I promise I'll always be around to catch you when you fall.
Things are sort of back to normal now.
They are the way they should and used to be.
We are once again the way we've been for six whole years . . . Best friends, you and me.
I'm not sure we could ever love again,
And I don't think we should.
Besides, if I had not been so brave before,
We probably never would.
I recently began to love another guy,
One who is not you,
A guy who has shared my love before.
Strangely, those feelings are gone too.
I am not sure that I'm ready
For the great adventures of romance.
Unless, of course, I find "the one" by a very unlikely chance.
You say you'll never love again,
But I don't think that's true.
You'll soon find the perfect girl,
The one that's right for you.
But until that day, we'll be the best of friends,
And even after that day, we'll be friends until the end.
