The Best.
Back then, things were easy.
Friends were friends and
everyone got along.
The sun shined, everyone smiled
while he was sleazy in the back.
It changed when we met,
you're rep extended even you're
ego, people's opinions were
more than i could handle
without meeting the "Heart Breaker"
That bright day, filled with
hope, standing by the market,
my life was about to begin,
with the following events
to chase me for a life tI'me.
There was this one man,
who i had so much in
common, shared secrets,
a best "friend" who
in turn, decided to turn.
"Don't worry!" he said
"We are still friends, everyone
else is lying", and i believed.
A pact between us to never
be broken, which later shattered.
I defended hI'm where I could,
place optI'mism in their minds,
"He wouldn't do that, give hI'm a chance!"
But he would, he had done it and
he would do it again.
That summer changed me,
but with every summer
comes the fall back
to the school grounds
and awkward classrooms.
He followed me, which for reason
is still unclear, and i was happy,
a friend for school, maybe
summer didn't have to end
so quickly for us.
We talked, we laughed
all was well, long and
bright like those summer days.
I was fooling myself, of
course, always forgetting.
We grew apart, for the better
I'm sure, and all is well,more or less,
but through all the trouble, pain and
hardships, not a "friend", but The Best.
