You never had to ask,

I was always there for you,

always.

 

I held your hand through fire,

scraped ice off your windshield

in a blizzard,

we talked for hours

about nothing,

and everything.

 

I would have walked

to the end of the world

with you; friend,

you never had to ask.

 

I was always there for you,

always.

 

Now I need you

and I cant remember

your face,

or the smell of your perfume.

 

“Friends are just a bonus

when I need them!”

you said.

 

Even me?

 

That was cruel.

 

I guess I don’t matter anymore,

perhaps I never did.

 

And it doesn’t bother you

that my world is destroyed,

just as long as you’re happy.

 

Smiling;

as you seem to be.
