you were a joy to be with
i smiled and laughed every time i was with you
you helped me when i was down
you picked me up off the ground

it was never the same again
you found someone better, someone new
together you did all the things we used to do
you laughed and smiled all the time
you opened your hearts to each other and shared everything
but you didn't know what that did to me

you're still in the picture" you said
i am, but i'm in the background
"you're still my best friend," you swore
i was your second favorite, never the less

when you gain one, you loose another
with that, you never seemed to be bothered
you just lost your best friend of 7 years
and now, we are only peers
