I sit in silence

While everyone else mummers to the other

The teacher sits watching everyone patiently

I look around and see that my best, and only, friend

She is socializing with her other friends

They have more in common than she and I

We are almost the same person

But most different from one another

As she socializes I sit in remembrance

I think of all the best times we've had as friends

Soon enough I feel this wave of depression darken my face

She's my only friend that I can talk to face-to-face

We understand each other

Except for now

No matter our relationship quarrels I'll always feel left out
