test of time

i still remember

growing up

the two of us

we swore that we'd always be friends

we didn't know yet

that promises have consequences

even when you're just a kid

one fight

she was out of my life

and it shattered what i thought we built

wish i

could have swallowed my pride

but now i have to live with the guilt

i saw that she's gotten married

in pictures she looks really happy

a snapshot of her life without me

and i know

i've never done that well with change

and there's no point in trying to place blame

i just hate it that we couldn't stand the test of time

sophomores in high school

history class

he made me laugh

and instantly we got along

we'd sit for hours

and contemplate

the world we'd change

that way that you do when you're young

but life's tough

and he picked me back up

when the first boy i loved broke my heart

i even caught him

when he hit his rock bottom

but slowly we've drifted apart

he and his wife had a baby

i haven't heard from him lately

but i hope he knows how proud he's made me

you don't get closure

you blink and it's over

and you never see what a good thing you had til it's gone

i never saw

what a good thing i had

but it's gone
