Changed

...

"Friends Forever", you promised

"Together till the end".

We did everything with each other

You were my best friend

When i was sad, you were by my side

When i was scared, you felt my fear

You were my best support

If i needed you, you were there

You were the greatest friend

You always knew what to say

You made everything seem better

As long as we had each other

everything would be okay

But somewhere along the line

We slowly came apart

I was here, you were there

It tore a hole in my heart

Things were changing

Our cheerful music  reversed its tune

It was like having salt without pepper

A sun without its moon

Suddenly we were miles apart

Two different people, with nothing the same

It was as if we hadn't been friends

Although we knew deep in our hearts

Neither one of us was to blame

You had made many new friends

And luckily, so had I

But that didn't change the hurt

The loss of our friendship made me cry

As we grow older, things must change

But they don't always have to end

Even though it is different, now

You will always be my friend
