Just because of him

We met in 2nd grade
Young and so naive
We soon became fast friends
It was all a perfect dream
Through the years we exchanged gifts and memories
And believed in things
Only best friends could believe
We celebrated every passing year
Another 365 days of friendship
You chased away all my fears
We started middle school together
And made it through with hectic schedules
Because we had each other
Through bitter divorces and cruel gossip
We survived
Almost immune to it
Because we had each other
We finished horrid middle school
With the best memory of all
Being voted best friends for life
We stood together proud and tall
Because we had each other
Over the summer we saw less of each other
But it was fine
Because in my mind
We would always have each other
Then we embarked on a new school year
And you bring back all those fears
Because I didn't have you
You gave yourself to Matt
I guess I always knew
That hormones would come
But I don't want to be done
Don't want to be done with you
And throw you out
like an old shoe
But you had no problem doing that to me
Best friends I thought we'd always be
But now I'm boring because I'm not him
The lights in my life are growing dim
You hug me
Periodically
But I don't want a simple hug
I want conversation
On my heart this burden does tug
I always feel like a third wheel
Wake up Ashley
This isn't real!
Boys come and go
But friends are forever
I want us back together
Our friendship's future is looking grim
All of this
Just because of HIM
