Remember when we were three? When we used to run around my backyard with our grass stained knees? Remember when we were six? We were attached at the hip, with our matching outfits and silly tricks Remember when we were nine? That summer we spent our days making sandcastles on the shoreline Remember when we were eleven? When my parents got divorced? I moved out of the neighborhood, and it seemed like you moved on from our friendship for good Remember when we were thirteen? When you started acting mean? You started ignoring me at school I guess that's when you started being "cool" Remember when we were fourteen? When you said I looked bulimic, with a disgusted look on your face Guess what, that was the case I could have used a friend, I wasn't well Your words hurt like hell Remember when we were fifteen? When you took that pregnancy test? To get boys to notice you you were always getting undressed I tried to ignore the rumors But they were about as glaring as a tumor Remember when we were seventeen? And you got that DUI? Because you decided to drive drunk and high I wanted to shake you I wanted to believe that it wasn't true That my best friend was now a stranger That she would do something so dumb, putting herself and others in danger I miss you I miss the girl you used to be The one who was so funny and carefree We used to be two peas in a pod But now when I see you things just feel odd When I'm with you I might as well be alone, but I guess that's part of us becoming grown Isn't it strange How people change?

Growing up and growing apart
