Friends we were
A resilient team
Young and wild
Imagined our dreams

Grew up together
at school and home
Darling and sweet
like honeycomb

When bored we would
sit under a tree
in my garden
We were reckless and free

A few years past
We drifted apart
Friends still
but different at heart

Got boyfriends and crushes
new friends and mates
I waited for her
at the school gates

Later on
she made fun of me
teasing and laughing
so I sat under the tree

After school
we met once in a while
Awkward and silent
Never a smile

We weren’t friends anymore
you would find
she was popular yet rude
I was left behind
