Childhood Best Friend
I wish I had never let go
That dark brown hair
And matching eyes
Complimenting my lighter
Bluer, blonder features
I wish I had never let go
How we could laugh together
Cry together
Heal together
Even run together
Running from our problems
Running to heal
Running to each other
Running to no one else
Running instead of going to therapy
But now we both need therapy
You go because your now friends
Never understand the way that I did
I go because I have everything
But still wish to go back to you
You not in a sense of person
But you in the sense of time
The time period where I had you
When we were still young
Too young to know what awaits us
We were young
Naive even
When I think of you
I remember myself as a girl
But neither of us are girls anymore
There was never a big argument
Never a blow out
Never a reason that we stopped
We simply grew
Growing in far too different directions
I wish I had never let go
But maybe it was for the better
Maybe we were never meant to last
Only there to learn
Loneliness and friendship
I wish I had never let go
Now we’re too different
I don’t regret you
I wish you the best in your life
Without me
