I'll Miss You

A simple tale
Two girls, having the time of their life
Eleven, twelve, free of worries
Living life as it comes, a day at a time

Close as sisters
Watching out for each other
Mistaken for each other
Loving every moment of life

A first boyfriend
A first breakup, messy, tears
Their friendship endures
And on each other they lean

Fourteen, fifteen, life goes on
Different schools, same bond
Or has something changed
Who am I to know?

A message from across the world
"I don't think I can be your friend"
A life turned upside down
A pinwheel in a maelstrom

A current boyfriend
An accusation of trust
"My dislike of you grew"
A broken bond or one that never was?

A flurry of tears
"...cut things off now..."
Jumbled words, jumbled thoughts
"...learning to hate you more..."

A night spent in tears
Sleep derived from sadness
A natural morphine
Wishing for the pain to end

"I'm sorry"
And maybe the tear-stained cheeks
Will be the only reminder
Of what once was.
