You're not who you used to be.
I don't exactly know what happened,
Or what changed you.
But I want that old person back.
Our old memories, faded away as if they were never there.
I'd never thought I'd see the day...
You... A stranger to me.

You're not who you used to be.
You started inviting me places, less and less, and being with boys; more and more.
Then smoking, drinking and partying.
You're 16!
I don't do things like that,
You would intentionally invite me.
Because you knew I wouldn't come.
Theres a difference between having fun, and making bad decisions.
Then came along new friends.
So you forgot all about me,
Your best friend.

You're not who you used to be.
Now that I've seen what you've become,
I don't get angry anymore.
I feel bad for you.
I've learned from my mistakes,
My biggest one was trusting you.
Now I understand why mom always tells me:

"The people who hurt you the most, Are usually the ones who always swore
They never would."


The author's comments:
I lost a person who I thought was a good friend, because she was more into all the wrong things in life... I hated to see her go, but I think it was for the best. It's been months, and it still bothers me. I gave her friendship, loyalty and trust. In return? I got hurt, when I was just trying to help.
