A Friendship Passed

We've grown apart
You and I

You've gone from a silly sorority girl
To an apartment fiancee,
Serious about your life
With him
It lays before you
Like a glistening yellow brick road

I've grown too
From a heartbroken, naive fawn
Into a knowing adult
Who wants to squeeze all the juice
Out of the giant lemon of life.
I want it all.

There are no hard feelings
We're just too different
I'll always love you
And remember how things were
When we were so similar

But what we want
And who we are
Are no longer likenesses we share
We can't understand each other anymore

Just try to remember
That not everyone
Aches to be you
They're perfectly happy
Just as they are
