Downhill

by parker-blackwood

You said something, something that didn't make sense With your happy smile, and beautiful face Your perfect waist And natural grace "Remember the 7th grade," you said with a grin A cold rock on your fourth digit's skin "It was the best time of our lives," you breathed, liquor filling the air "Seems like its just been downhill from there" The happiest person I know With all the reasons to be Somehow feels the same I: The one with a broken past Wider hips The one who's never felt a kiss Or maybe we all feel this way when we grow up To wish life was like it used to be When friends were there and we were enough

Notes

My friend and I had had a couple of drinks, and we hadn't seen each other in awhile. She's beautiful, engaged, and has a intact family, yet she said what I have thought for so long now. I don't know if it makes me feel comforted, or hopeless.
