8 Years Gone

Bayleigh Sangi

I look back at our memories and can’t help but smile.

You made me feel at home even if it were just for a while. 

We drifted apart for better or for worse, 

And now we walk past each other and don't even converse. 

I miss our silly nights and sleepovers galore;

I wish there was a time machine to go back to how it was before. 

You chose them over me and I can't help but wonder: 

Why them? Why not me? Oh ya, the scale's number. 

It wasn’t an issue before, but they said otherwise.

I was left friendless and turned to exercise. 

Fast forward two years and the weight was gone; 

You wanted to catch up, but I had moved on.  

You were toxic, greedy, exclusive, and manipulative, 

But for the time we had together, I am very appreciative.  

In the moment it was hard to see the red flags;

Today they’re as alarming as a Louis Vuitton price tag. 

I will continue to wish you nothing but the best,  

For you gave me a friendship that I will never forget.
