5th Grade Came...

I miss my best friend from elementary school

We were joined at the hip until 4^th grade

That’s when I got glasses and girls became the cool thing

So I was replaced by the tall kid and a bunch of leeches

We still hung out my best friend and I

But we grew apart

5^th grade came we’d hang out after school but at school things changed

No longer first picked in football

Second to the dopey kid who was tall

Two years we didn’t share classes

Begged me to return to gifted my presence was immaculate

But I had no interest in added stress

I just sat in my normal class taking spelling test

End of the year party

I was invited but who wasn’t

End of the year field trip for the kids with orange belts

Wasn’t enough room for me in the hotel room

Without me budging in

I thought we’d be friends forever

Go to same university

Now you are in a universe without me

That university

I thought we’d be friends forever
