You were always there for me

until you weren't...

said I was your best friend

but with so many requirements

your best friend

with my name

who wears glasses

and lives in another state

not so hard to fit the description

when it only describes me

I'm not your best friend really

am I?

just one of many

just the who calls too often

and relies on you too much

You were always there for me

until you weren't...

said I needed time

and space

when all I really needed was

for you to stop

lying to my face

I realized I needed you in my life

no matter how you felt

or how much it hurt

but you realized that your life

was easier without me

You were always there for me

until you weren't...

you were my best friend

but I wasn't yours
