I Miss My Old Friend

I just want us
To be together
The best of friends
Like we've been forever

I try and talk
But you won't listen
Your ears shut off
Though your eyes glisten

You're so consumed
With some girl
So you ignore
The rest of your world

I tell you I love you
And you say it back
But there's a sincerity
Your words still lack

My closest friend
What's happened to you?
And is there anything
That I can do

I never thought some girl
Would tear us apart
Even though she
Just rips up your heart

You're not the same person
That you once were
You're not the same boy
You had been before her

I feel my body shaking
Is it anger or pain?
All I know is
You're causing the strain

My friend is long gone,
And I miss him so...
But when he gets back
Will you please let him know?
