How long has it been
Since the day we parted ways?

Your blue eyes looking at mine
Velvet skin and orange hair
Skinny as a model... damn...

At the time, you were my hero
I looked up to you
Hung out with you and your friends
And yet... why?

Why have you not heard my silent plea
For you not to go and leave me behind?
But you did.

I was only a naive tween
Just hatching out of childhood
And into the adolescence years
Where I never thought
I'd be making it on my own
Without you to guide me.

But here I am, all grown up
Still no word from you, I see.
You left with the promise of a keepsake
Handing down the address of your new home
To me, so I can visit.

I've given up on you, you know.
I really have.
Now when I think of you...
All I feel is betrayal
And apologizing to the child in me
For getting sucked up in your silly stories
Of things that I know will never be.
A poem dedicated to an old EX-pal of mine from my first years of high school.

Long story short: been friends, she graduated and left for some other location. Promised to give me her new address, which she never did. I felt abandoned by her ever since.

This poem is very depressing and certainly opens up my own wounds of rejection but then again I may have committed the same crimes to other people without knowing. I guess it's defiantly unavoidable that friends grow apart and the only way you know a true friend is when they continue to stick with you no matter what. But distance in careers and homes and changes in life could make things you may thought as thoughtful for keeping as you enjoyed a few years back may dramatically shift to a different orientation and then you think back and come to realize how childish you were and pay it no mind.

I guess it's not a well known fact but the right now you think the person you are present is the final version of you. But that will change as years pass as new version develop, even at an atomic level every 5 years you body has completely exchanged its old atoms with new ones making you atomically speaking a different person. I guess those changes are what reveals a persons soul I suppose.
