All Things Past

Six years later, everything has changed.
Yet it still feels oddly familiar.
It was a could have been if things were different.
But it's a never will be.
You never had to live up to me.
You just felt like you did.
You know it never mattered to me anyway.
Things have changed.
I have become everything you wanted to be.
You are someone else entirely on your own.
I always knew it would be this way.
That's not what was important.
That's never what's important.
You could never see that.
You still can't.
What's left are memories.
I still miss your company sometimes.
All I wanted was for us to be friends.
Don't you miss being friends?

I know I do.

I guess this is what growing up is.
