Listening to: Hellogoodbye-Touchdown Turnaround
Feeling: reclusive
Look at you now, look how you've changed.
I would just like you to know that I've found new friends, who I don't have to worry about soo much. I don't worry that they'll go to a party and get really messed up, and never make it back home. They don't ditch me for other cooler people. They don't lie to me the way you used to, and I don't have to lie for them the way I used to for you.
I'm over you, I'm making a box and putting every memory of you in it. Maybe I'll stuff it in the back of my closet, and you can become part of the life that I used to know, collecting dust back there with my old pictures and toys. Or maybe I'll burn it, you can become something I'll never remember again. I probably couldn't do that, because that would mean I'd have to wipe away half my childhood, and it wasn't all bad anyways. Either way, I will forget you, and your face, and all the things you used to say to me. I'll forget the sound of your voice, and the stupid way you used to laugh when we would sit up in the tent behind your house all night long, just eating Top Ramen and smiling. I will forget the way you tried to set me up with your brother, and the way we would talk on the phone for hours about nothing in particular. Maybe I'll miss these things, I know I will. But that doesn't matter.
Things have changed girl, we're not going to see eachothers weddings, we are not going to name our kids after eachother. You won't be coming to visit my house in Washington in the Summer, and I won't be coming here to see you in the Winter. No more walking on the pier, or going to movies. I don't know who your newest boyfriend or crush is, and you don't know mine. I'm going to stop hating every second that we ever spent together now, because I realize they were never the problem. That was what made us fun. I will still be angry with you, thats never going to go away. But I think its possible to function above all that, so I just won't think about it. I would like to be able to say that I love you, and will always, but I've never been hurt like that, and you knew that. So the best that I can say is I will always remember you. But I make no promises on anything else.
I never knew you...don't give up on me
