Seven Years

Seven years
Seven long years
So much together
The laughs and tears

The times together
Were so much fun
We were so different
From everyone.

But the calls had stopped
And the talking slowed
While the distance in our friendship
Would grow and grow.

The time together
Never more to come
No more chances
To play and run.

How could this happen?
How could this be?
Our long friendship
Meant so much to me.

We got in fights
But all friends do
Yet this last one
Left me sad and blue.

It almost led to hitting
Punches and kicks
People had told me
Your friendship for me was a trick.

I didn't want to believe them
Not while it was still so good.
I didn't listen to them
But now I know I should.

You turned your back on me
Talked behind my back
Fears of life
No more to lack.

I'm afraid to walk
Out the door
Don't want to look people
In the face any more.

It's all too scary
Without a friend
I just wish now
That my life would end.

So much together
The laughs and tears.
Seven years
Seven long years..
