friendship-ending – The Messy Middle 🖤

Keep in Touch.

I don’t say I love you because I don’t.

I don’t say I’ll miss you because I won’t.

I say I’ll see you around because I probably will,

but I don’t want you thinking that time is standing still.

-S.

I am the keeper of your secrets.

I am the one that knows why you laugh,

and why you cry.

I am the one that knows why they left you,

and why they said goodbye.

I am the one that knows what eats you up at night.

I am the one, like a torch, that carries the light.

I am the one that knows about your mother,

your brother,

that guy you like,

and why you haven’t finished school.

Like high school,

you no longer think I’m cool.

-S.

You drop me off like luggage.

Pick me back up when you want to.

You shelve me like a book.

You let me collect dust like a nook.

You take from me like a crook.

Someone new and exciting,

that was all it took?

-S.
