a/n: okay, for some reason it won't let me capitolize anything. i have no clue what the problem is, but i'm trying to fix it.

the future lay sparkling ahead,
and we thought we would know each other forever.
but i guess we'd always been foolish optimists that way.
never prepared for the cold truth of the world.

then reality slapped us in the face,
and we flew backwards,
the whiplash giving us painful headaches that would last for years.

and when the rest of us accepted that horrible truth,
that we would be separated,
probably never seeing each other again,
you stubbornly held on.

holding us together,
letting none of us leave.
if it wasn't for you,
i suppose we wouldn't even know each other now.

we would be familiar strangers,
knowing each other,
yet having no idea what we were like.
a lie inside the truth.

but you were there,
and still are.
still stubbornly holding on,
refusing to see the truth.

that most of us have moved on-
especially me.
i'm not your friend anymore,
i must have told you a million times.

but you refuse to leave.
and whenever i lose you,
slip away from your grasp,
you merely chase me down.

i can't escape it,
your naive dream of happiness.
tch...as if we'd ever stay friends forever.
that was merely a childhood dream.

before i left,
before we fought,
before i hated you,
before i loved you.

a dream from when the future lay sparkling ahead,
and we thought we would know each other forever.
