she* was the smart one with a cute little smile and heart full of kindness she was the prettiest and the smartest and people were either jealous of her or they wanted to be her she was the one who held my hand the most and made me feel like i was the best of us all
we swam together one on each lane racing to the finish or just helping each other make it to the finish line
we laughed together at the jokes that were cracked laughing until our stomachs ached and our eyes filled with tears
we sang together four little voices trying to blend together messily but happily we were happy
then she moved away to a different place to a different school to different people
i remember when she cried when we had to part
i remember when she felt lonely and wrote me a letter but lost it
i remember when she had her first kiss she was so excited and so happy
and i remember when she no longer called and rarely texted and weeks turned into months before we'd finally meet and talk and tell each other i miss you keep in touch
but the promises are empty because we say but we never do and her text are rare and her calls rarer still
and what can i do but sit here and watch as she goes out into the world and the world changes her until she only was the person i once knew best
Part one of "Best Friends Forever?", which are just a jumble of thoughts penned down
