We Used To Be A Family

I miss how things used to be. 

Before 7th grade when everything changed, 

When you were still there for me.

You used to be the coolest ever. 

I looked up to you. 

You were my role model. 

I would always be so happy when people said I looked just like you. 

But then you started to change, as did us all I guess. 

You shut us out. 

You left us behind. 

You left me behind.

I would tell you everything,

And after dinner every night we would wrestle until I couldn't win. 

I would watch the same shows as you and even the same music. 

Anything I could to be just like you. 

I wanted to grow up and be just like you. 

But that isn't the same anymore. 

Every things different. 

You're never here. 

And when you are you don't even care. 

I used to call you Dad, 

But it just doesn't feel right anymore.

Heart felt and nicely written. ..As I was reading, thoughts of my "best friend" from forever popped into my head.. and how things just, well..changed..
When I reached the end of your poem and saw that it was a father figure instead, it moved me even more.. great work :)
