Better Off Without You

When you just called, I didn’t know what to say
It was kind of out of the blue, and weird in a way
Especially considering, you were my best friend
That I didn’t have my time, or energy to lend…

Because what you had to say, I just couldn’t care
I haven’t forgotten how you refused to be there
It felt strange to me talking to someone, I thought I knew
Especially when I didn’t have any feelings or reaction to you…

But you acted normal and what you said was kind of lame
Trying to maintain the conversation, guess I was much the same
But it was in that phone call I came to really realise
That our friendship is really gone, not hidden in disguise…

You’d think it would hurt, but not me, no, not I
I didn’t even have the slightest compulsion to cry
I just felt some closure, in a way I finally accepted
That our friendship is a long time over, as in this poem is reflected…

We had good times, didn’t we? Just you and just me
Wasn’t our little world the way we wanted it to be
I’m hoping to you the good times far out weight the sad
That those good times were some of the best you have had…

For me they were, only they ended much too soon
There was me… stuck in all my depression and gloom
While you moved on and made everything seem great
I thought my life was over, that you determined my fate…

And then I saw just how happy you really were
Thought to myself, why can’t I move on like her?
Look at her, my so-called best friend cares none about me
I’ve been at home in tears, while she’s partying, you see…

So in that instance I decided to make a real change
Unhappy with my life and so many points to rearrange
So I went out and partied got really under the influence too
Started partying and travelling, just the way you and I used to

And much to my very surprise I had so much fun
When I thought it was only with you and I that could be done
And in that very moment was when I really knew
That you were once my best friend, but I’m so much better off without you…
