Grown Apart

You were the first friend
That I'd had in years.
The times we shared were priceless,
Looking back on them brought me to happy tears.
We laughed together and hung out; we fought almost never.
I was sure that we'd be best friends forever.

Then high school started,
and our "BFF" label began to fade.
We both made new friends,
and broke silent promises that we had made.
I guess with growing up there comes change, and this is part of it.
But I miss you, my friend, and the times we shared I won't forget.
Even though we've changed and grown apart,
You and our memories will always be in my heart.
