old friends.

I want to say

that I don't  c a r e
that we aren't  f r i e n d s  anymore
but I really, really do

I'm sorry I pushed you away
and I'm sorry
I never got around to  a p o l o g i s i n g
because I don't think it's my fault
and neither was it yours

We grew apart
and you  s t o p p e d  trying
and so I did too

And all those times
I said I was just tired

it was not a lack of sleep
but rather a lack of hope
that you took with you
when you left

I want to say 
I don't miss you anymore
but I think part of me  a l w a y s  will

And I keep telling myself
it's okay that I lost you

and that I will meet
a million different people in my lifetime

it's just deep down
I know that

I won't ever meet anyone like you.
