Aaliyah,

Isn’t it so dumb

Seventh grade

All that anger

And never speaking again

Over something

We can’t even think of now

But after all this time

It’s hard to go from

Knowing the color of our bridesmaid’s dressed

To asking her favorite color

And I don’t want to start over with you

I’ve grown up

And I don’t want to go back

Just to have another chance with you

Because I’m doing fine

And I’ve made new friends

I’ve adapted

Changed my style

Make funny remarks

Things you’ll never love

The way I do

So I just don’t think it’s worth it

To have another chance with you.

Sadie,

You don’t know how much I miss you

How I missed your humor

And the way you listened

The way we’d talk about the same books we read

On the bus to school

You’d call me at 9

And we’d work on a song together

I still have the recording, you know

Waiting for the day

We could do it again.

And sure, I’ve made more friends

And they’re pretty okay.

But they could never compare to you.

Your bright smile,

Fluffy hair we’d take turns braiding

Oh, I can’t wait to go back to those days

Just me and you

Doing all the things we used to

Let’s be best friends again.
