You chose to erase your past
To forget memories
But you forgot
Those memories belonged to us as well
Because we were part of them
With one decision
You chose to give up
On 25 years’ worth of friendship
And that cut deep
Very, deep
If you had told us
Once. Just once
We would have been happy
To let go
To let you fly unfettered
Because our friendship
Was not about chains
Or boundaries
It was about silliness
About laughter and misspent youth
We would have learnt
To love a new you
But cutting us loose
From the old you
Was not just your choice to make
And that, is going to make it difficult
To trust the person you have become
