Left Behind

Does anyone else feel this way with old friends? It's like a silent breakup on their end, and your left wondering if you did something wrong or if you were never really that important to begin with.

 I saw you today

sitting in your car in the parking lot

you honked and yelled my name

it was weird how familiar it felt

to see you sitting in your car

your husband in the passenger seat

your baby in the back

it felt nostalgic

yet i don’t know this side of you

the one who is a mom

a wife

i used to know you

at least I’d like to think I did

but things didn’t turn out the way i thought they would

i don’t quite understand

if i did something wrong

because you never invited me to your wedding

the day we used to talk about all the time

you didn’t mention it to me

i found out by Facebook memories

we made false promised plans

after i messaged you

i reached out like i always do

and i was met with a

“Yes we really should!”

but it’s been month’s now

and i know your busy with your new life

and I’m truly so happy for you

but i can’t help but feel

left behind
