To a Friend.

Awkward moments in hallways
Uncomfortable displays of affection
Hour-long phone conversations and page-long yearbook signings
Trust and mistrust
Jealousy and admiration
First experiences and light hearts

All those times
There were so many years
Childhood, jealousy, laughter, despair
Throwing flowers in fields and racing through waters
No reason to pretend as if I don't still care

So much conflict
So many disagreements
So many reasons it shouldn't go on
But you're still caged in my heart like a bird with no wings
Time is no matter, for you'll never be gone

Our futures await
Separate paths lie ahead
Sometimes look back on what's left behind
No shame, but glad we've moved on
No matter what, you'll always be in my mind

Thanks for the times
Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the love and thanks for the support
Thanks for being my best friend
And thanks for knowing how to always be there
Thanks for being you
Thanks for letting me be me
Thanks for the honesty
Thanks for the friendship
Thanks for proving that life goes on
