I am excited for your adventures,
But I fear I'm more excited
Than you are anymore.
We used to have fun,
Laughing and being silly,
Now it's hard to send a text
Without asking, "Really?!"
I want to knock some sense into your head,
I want you to know he isn't that great,
That you act differently now
And all because of some stupid date.
You may think I'm just jealous
But there is no reason to be,
I can be myself around my beau,
You won't and everyone else can see.
We played TMNT in college,
Our imaginations took control,
And now they can't because we're older.
Our lives now seem pretty dull.
I'll explain further,
If that's what you want.
Remember making ballon animals
instead of reading Kant?
Or maybe you'll remember
Our crazy delofting crew.
We tore down beds
For people we barely knew.
We used to do things on a whim,
But had responsibilities too,
You used to care abou your grades,
Now I question if you do.
We both survived college
And you had an awesome G.P.A.
Then he came along and well,
you ****** it all away.
Now it's all about drinking
And trying to be that girl.
We used to make fun of them,
The ones who had to wear pearls.
Now if you want to go this route,
Let me buy you some Uggs and a North Face.
Because no friend of mine would change
for a guy or to fit into a new place.
Don't get me wrong,
I want you to do well.
I just hope you don't settle for him
Because you aren't yourself.
He's a nice guy and I can tell he cares,
But until my friend's personality can return,
I won't like you two as a couple,
And I pray you'll eventually learn.
