My Ex- Best Friend

My Ex-Best Friend
by Celestie Vaughn

we were always together
me and you
joined at the hips
like Siamese twins
you always saved a seat for me
you always gave me a share of what you had
you always helped me out with whatever problems i faced
and i did the same towards you too
you were once my sole confidante
my sister
whom i told everything

but soon
i slowly realized
you never told me anything
anything at all
you never shared with me
who you liked
who you thought was cool and who was not
who you thought
sang the best songs
you only told me
others' views
not your own

i found out
who you were crushing on
through your sibling
i still can
imagine her shock
*you're-her-best-friend-and-you-don't-know?!*
i still can imagine
the disappointment
that was clearly etched onto my face
feeling of being trusted
and loved
and appreciated
by a best friend
i never got to experience that

you used to shout to me
once you saw me
acknowledging my presence
your whole face lighting up
with the widest grin in the world

then
one day
i walked into class
late,as usual
and for once
i didn't have anywhere to sit
because you were with somebody else
someone who meant more to you
than i did
i asked you
whether the seat on the other side of your friend
was empty

but,no
it wasn't
because it was saved
for somebody
who was of greater importance to you
it was as if
an invisible hand
had entered the window
and grabbed hold of my heart
ceasing the function of every system in my body

after that
you don't even pretend to see me
you just walk straight pass me
like i'm part of the wall
an invisible being
whom nobody cares for
like the kind of boring flyer
that you would just carelessly toss aside
without a single glance

now
i know
that i never meant as much to you
as much as you did to me

alas
the trace of the bond
which held us together
fades away into nothingness

nobody who see us now
would even know
we were
the best of pals
the last faint trace
is there no longer

to the world
we are just
merely
acquaintances.



p/s : just something i found. Wipe ur tears dear .

i thought it'd be pretty heart-wrenching if that happened to me. =)
