Distance is Memories
Remember when we were together? As friends I mean.
Laughing together when we were brushed off by our other friends?
Always together, finding humor?
What happen to us?
We promised each other that we’ll always be friends.
That when we we’re old and gray, that we’ll have each other?
But I’m alone and you’re gone.
Distance and time has separated us.
Leaving to occasion text messages while we live our lives.
You party and socialize, while I’m in the house watching old movies.
Again we’re reduce to a text… IF we remember each other.
I text. You don’t reply.
You text. I don’t reply.
Is it my fault? Yours? Both of us?
Remember detention every day?
Snow tubing down the hill?
Going to the movies?
Walking all over downtown?
I do.
You will always be my best friend.
Who made my childhood bright and hilarious?
Sharing memories,
Talking about each other, but laugh at the end.
You moved on just like I did.
New friends,
New school,
New responsibilities’,
My phone number sits there, catching dust.
But don’t worry, we always find a way back
And when we do, chaos will regin again
Because we’re the dynamic duo, and your always my best friend.

Graduation from middle school and going into high school made me for the first time learn to keep relationships without seeing the other person everyday. That the people you think you'll grow old with and attend each other wedding sometimes doesn't happen. Relationships require effort from both parties, and now its something I strive to get better at to stay close to my friends.
