I’ll never understand how it happens,
How we drifted so far apart.
One minute we were laughing,
Next it felt like I was missing a part of my heart.
Despite what people may think,
Not the kind with whispers of sweet nothings
But the kind of love that’s true,
We were so young, so innocent, me and you.
A rare kind of relationship that carries a spark.
Not the type of love that people think,
Not the type of love you’d think could disappear in a blink.
The type of love that leaves a mark.
The type of love that carves shapes in your heart.
The type of love that can tear you apart.
My first love wasn’t a boy,
But still one that brought me both pain and joy.
It was a friend, a true friend who got me for me,
We were as close as anyone could be.
Never once did I pretend to be someone else,
I was never too nervous around you to be myself.
Now we’re a shell of what we once were,
All the memories now a blur.
I always knew you’d grow up into the person you were meant to be,
But I never thought that would mean growning apart from me.
Even though we’ve now drifted so far apart,
You’ll always have those pieces of my heart.
The parts that broke off in your hand,
The parts of me that slipped between my fingers, like steady steams of sand.
I’m beginning to understand that people aren’t always meant to stay,
Some people you are just destined to meet along the way.
Before all the arguments and all that could come,
I want you to know how thankful for you I have become.
Thank you for having my back in a way I never knew,
I wouldn’t have ever made it through without you.
