Feb 2021
It started off as college dorm mates
The bonds were forged by proximity.
We were so lucky to find our group
That would become family for eternity.

Those days, we made memories daily
Crying in the library to dancing in the laundry room
We found best friends who truly knew us
And we lived to see each other bloom.

The good, the bad, the stress and celebrations
We were all in it together.
Those unforgettable moments captured in my head
Each photo brings a memory more precious than the other.

Graduation came 4 years later
And we all had to go our separate ways.
There was so much laughter and tears.
But we knew our bonds would last always.

We couldn't see each other often,
But each time, it'd be like nothing changed
All excited about our futures
Joking that our kids marriages would be arranged.

They were supposed to call you Uncle one day
But that all changed and we don't know why
You dropped us and didn't even explain
All those messages, we sent without reply

Maybe one day our paths will cross again
Maybe you'll realize what a mistake you made
Right now it's hard to imagine forgiving
This hurt feeling of being betrayed.
