a letter to my past

Dearest friend,
went to ur page the other day, looked thru ur pictures and
marvelled at how much you've changed.
dont know if its good or bad but still
i cringe at the life it paints.
clicking on picture after picture i think,
you look so different, you look so strange
you're the person my friend became.
i once thought it wouldnt matter
what you did or what you wore
we would always be as we were
bestest friends, forever more.
but time and space took that away
i no longer know what you did today
the events and people in your life
have left me feeling mystified.
what happened, my darling friend
is it me or you that's changed?
remember when we used to tell
each other of our lives in hell?
remember the day we discovered
makeup with our eyes all mascared?
perhaps you dont, but i do
and i hope that you do too.
when i think of all the things we shared
my heart squeezes with regret
how did we drift so apart
i wonder briefly, feeling aghast.
you used to call me late at night
and hang up when the sky is bright
you and i used to trawl the malls
walking til our feet were sore.
movies music shop and dance
to go out we never missed a chance
food, boys, pictures and birthdays
laughter, tears and karaoke.
hair and makeup, skirts and shoes
also chalets and barbeques.
through new boyfriends and old flames,
we swore our friendship would never wane.
but alas,only time could tell
we would be as we are now.
funny that your familiar face
is like a stranger's all over again.
i dont want us to be this way
but go back in time, i cant, no way.
wish we could somehow close the gap
reverse it magically with a snap
i'll do anything, i declare
yet i wonder if you still care
have you left me in your past already
have you forgotten me maybe
even if we can never go back
know this, babe, i'll never forget.
All my love,
Grace
