It seemed just yesterday when you were my best friend

All happiness and smiles

How the laughs just seemed to never end

It seemed like our friendship went on for miles

You saw me through my worst

While we sat and watched the sky

Thinking how you helped me, about all the bad feelings you nursed

Now, to me, it all just seems like a lie

Something that happened yesterday, but never again

It seems that I don't know you

From the looks on our faces

You'd never know we were once tried and true

I feel I don't know who is behind the hair and the braces

Now you stand around and talk to your friends

Ambitions and goals around your neck like cheap necklaces

I'm afraid that now, we've both met our ends

I'll eat all that down, if you'd just go back

To the days with me of bubblegum and shoelaces

It seems like my best friend just walked right out

Leaving the empty shell, I don't know how

I feel like I just want to scream and shout

About how much I miss you right now

Life is so lonely, without my right hand

I feel just like a shoe without the other of the pair

Why you would leave me, I don't understand

When I look through your vacant stare,

I don't see the real you, the one who would understand

It seems maybe you left me, with something in mind

Maybe I was a bad friend, who left you in the cold

After all, maybe I just wasn't your kind

All I am asking is: please don't feel undersold.

I know I have sore spots,

You are pretty messed up, too

With your shyness and your reluctance to be more than my friend

With all these feelings inside me, I feel like a pot of beef stew

If you need me, I'll always have a hand to lend

It seems that I have this feeling deep inside me, too

That you'll wake up someday and see that I've always been there

To come back and kiss me like all the fairytale princes do

And I will wait in my spot right here

Until you wake up too

I hope that someday, when the smoke all clears

You'll be waiting for me with a rose in your mouth

Ready to start over, not just a stranger who leers

I'll be ready to forget that our friendship went south,

This time just don't be the one who steers

It seems that even if you leave me,

I'll always be beside you, like a shadow that never leaves

Wishing the best from me to you

That you are happy, may you always have glee,

I'll always love you most, even if our path cleaves

May you always have happiness and remember your best friend, me.

A/N: This is a poem I wrote about Piper's feelings for Jason in the first book The Lost Hero. Just a little something I felt I had to write. It hurts when a friend leaves you, doesn't it? As always, tell me what you thought; love it, hate it, want to rip it to shreds?
