She's my new best friend

Do you remember when he gripped your shoulder and pulled you tight1

Smiling with crooked teeth and probably dreaming of you at night2

He said hey she’s my new best friend 3

Your eyes smile uneasily at me flickering to my hair then my lips4

But you saw that they froze and you shrugged your shoulders5

And the first thought that came to my mind, honest to God was 6

What?7

Remember those days we spent talking about random things8

From the stain on your blouse to the hole on the seat9

Where you told me that you’ve never met anyone that you’ve trusted so much10

And you spilled everything to me11

But you don’t remember nights I’ve stayed up thinking how much of a fake I was12

Not telling you everything like you’ve told me13

Because I can’t 14

You tell me that you know I tell you everything and that you’ll tell me too15

And what else do you expect me to do16

Except listen with silence and let you think that all that’s true?17

So when he said that he’d whisk you away so that you’d both fly side by side and leave me behind18

I also thought19

If you do take her away and she chooses not to come back I’ll miss her. 20

No one would laugh at my jokes or listen to me discuss the books I’ve read21

No one else would watch me with interest or pay attention to what I’ve said22

So if you go23

I think that then I’d be truly alone24

Because I might have these conversations with me talking in my head25

And I’d be more aloof than ever26

But I hope that if you do go you know the reason why I let my grip of you go27

And pay attention because I don’t express myself and this is the first time I’m doing so28

...29

The reason is because I still care and want the best for you30

(Take a deep breath) 31

Dude I swear this whole thing is true.
