I miss how carefree we used to be when we were younger
When all we knew was each other and everything was so much easier
Two girls standing at the edge of the world, hearts unbroken
Unaware of how quickly things can change

Each lost in our way but it didn’t matter
You don’t have to have everything figured out when you have each other
And things will mend on their own if you let them
That’s what I told myself anyway, when things were hard

But things change and people grow as time goes by
We each began to bloom, always unique, always beautiful, always different
I had to learn to let you go and you had to do the same for me
And I can’t blame you for it, sometimes that’s just how things end up

I don’t want you to know I have days where I’m always on the verge of crying
Where everything reminds me of you, every song I listen to and every thought I have
Every word I write and every word I hear
You deserve to grow without me covering up the sun

I’ve given up on trying to invent things I hate about you
It’s silly to try and pretend that this loss is a win
The truth is I’ll always have love in my heart for you, no matter what the distance is between us
No matter how much either of us forget, that’s something I can always promise
uhhhhh that feel when you lose a best friend n your heart be like: hurting
