You'll remember me, right?
The one you promised to explore the world with together?
just you and me
against the world
I understand why you were jealous when I had another friend
I get it now
all of it
But do you?
I want you to be happy
That's all that matters to me
And they all seem to make you happy
You talk for hours about them
about how you are going to hang out with them
about how you are making plans with them
where you're going together
and promising me
to tell me all about it
But never inviting me along
never inviting me
never calling first
I feel bad
I know I shouldn't
You said I have nothing to worry about
together forever
Nothing to worry about
wanna hear what I learned about today
Want to hear about my day
Want to hear me talk
wanna talk to me
wanna look at me
please
Talk to me
I sound desperate
I promise I'll keep our promise even if you forgot it
its okay
i promise
We all forget
even when it's our promises in life
You can't live without me,
But you're doing better without me
Go live your life, I won't hold you back, I promise
You don't need to feel bad, that'll stop you from flourishing
I don't want that
I'd rather see you grow than we both grow
Or me holding you back
You want to be a nurse?
Promise that when you see me in the same hallways
at least
the very least
Please don't glare at me
Look the other way
I don't think I can look you in the eyes if you decide to try and lie ot me some more
I promise I'll remember the times we hung out
walked around and talked
I promise I'll remember these things
When you can't
When you won't
Just know that in an instant
I will come crawling back to you the moment you ask
