My Best Friend

My+Best+Friend

My best friend left me 

I remember the matching shirts we had 

I had blue, she had pink 

Hand in hand 

Always together 

 

My best friend left me 

A couple of years later 

grew a little taller 

and my hair a little longer 

Though the shirts were long gone 

We were still hand in hand 

Always together 

 

It was deep in the night 

With the moon oh so bright 

A jump rope came to our sight 

You were jumping while I was counting 

When my turn came 

I kept tumbling and tripping 

You picked me up and helped me 

Now, I was jumping and you were counting 

 

My best friend left me 

You started to be with your new best friend  

while I observed you from far away 

But once again we were matching, just like before 

I had a blue mask, and you had a pink one 

We’ve both grown taller 

You were starting high school, and I was in 8th  

I was healthy while you were battling for your life 

 

My best friend never left me 

Instead, I lost her 

We could’ve had sleepless nights together 

Talk about the guys we liked 

We could’ve laughed about high school and how dumb we are 

We could’ve fed the homeless dogs like we used to 

You could’ve met Ace 

I was unable to say goodbye to you 

Even if I don’t want to admit it 

I still miss you 

Always together 

¿Verdad, Darlyn? 

 

(Rest in peace Darlyn, you would’ve turned 17 already!! Don’t worry, Tía is still feeding Ranger, and we have a new little pup in the family. His name is Ace, and he turned 2 last month. I’ll see you soon niño.)
