Then & Now

by PJ   Jun 10, 2007


Oh how I look back at the times
Where we had great fun
I remember back to then and all I see
Is movies, jokes, movies and laughter.

Then:
We spent most of our time talking to one another
Making jokes and memories of us
Going out, seeing movies, hanging at each other's home
Back when our friendship was all trust and love.

Now:
We spend most of our time pretending to one another
Making jokes and memories, but not much laughter
Going out, seeing movies, not hanging at each other's home
Now our friendship isn't a friendship much.

Then:
We'd talk to each other about all our problems
Talk on the phone for hours at a time
Write letters with happiness and talk about crap
We'd fight over little things and make up that night.

Now:
We keep everything in and never talk about problems
Talk on the phone for 10 minutes or so
Write letters with hurt and make each other angry
We fight over huge stuff and never truly make up.

Then:
When we spent time together we'd actually have fun
Make each other smile and enjoy each other's company
Walk past each other in the hall and poke out our tongue
Talk about things on which we agree.

Now:
When we spend time together we fake our smiles
Make each other hurt and hate each other's company
Walk past each other in the hall and ignore it
Talk about things on which we disagree.

Then our friendship meant something to the 2 of us
Now we've grown apart and nothing can change that
Then we never hid things from each other
Now we hide everything from one another.

Then it'd kill me for our friendship to break
Now it doesn't seem to bother me
Then you'd understand when you hurt me
Now you don't see it, and I can't explain it.

Then it was you and me, no one else
Now it's a group of us, not you and me at all
Then I loved you as a sister
Now I see the truth, you don't care at all.

I hate how our friendship is no more
But the truth is that I'm tired
Tired of being pushed around
You used to be my friend, now you're fired.
