Best Friends

We became friends, and then without even knowing it
We became the best friends everyone dreams about.
We laughed together, cried together, and even
Told our deepest and darkest secrets to each other.
And trusted one another with everything we had.

We knew that when summer came, our friendship
Would be tested since we lived almost three hours apart.
It was a hard summer, being without your best friend,
But we talked on the phone, and even seen each other
The few times that we could manage to get away.

We finally made it back, back to college where
We could see each other daily and talk.
But then something happened, you started dating a guy,
Who was always there and actually cared about you.
And this affected our friendship more than we thought.

Our first actual fight was the beginning of the end of
What could have been a life long beautiful friendship.
A guy, who would have thought something like that,
Could end an untouchable bond between two people.
I never thought our friendship could end.

Best friends are suppose to rely on each other,
Expect them to be there to help you when life hits you hard,
But thats when I realized our friendship was in trouble.
When I needed you most, to tell me everything
Would be OK but you were no where near.

Within one year, two friends once so close, find it hard
To even say hi, much less hold a conversation.
When I left college, you promised we'd still remain close,
But in life's tragedies and heartaches I realized
We are best friends, but only in a dream.
