Oh how the world has shifted.

Where did the me you all used to know go?
Did she just up and leave? Walk away?
Was she addicted to her phone?

 

Did school or sports take over?
Was it depression, stress, or boys?
Did she hide from you, only because
She's hurt and paranoid?

 

Did you notice I was fading?
Did you even think to ask,
Why have you become so distant?
You're not the girl I knew in the past.

 

Or was I unresponsive?
Did I shut you out even then?
When I was crumbling inside,
When what I needed most was a friend?

 

Or did you give up on me,
Decide I wasn't worth it,
Not with strict parents and bad habits
That made me a bully's target?

 

No. I know you tried your best.
I know it was my fault.
I lost touch, I lost you,
And then I built-up walls.

 

So where am I to go from here?
How do I proceed?
When I'm still in love with you, dear friends,
but you don't care for me??
