What do you mean by “best friends forever”
If the end of forever’s but years away?
I’d hoped that more than proximity binds us
But will this crumble if I don’t stay?

I’d love you if you lived on Mars,
I’d text you daily, take your calls,
But I guess I’m still too far away
When trapped behind my mental walls.

So another state is much too far
For anything to last of this;
I know to you it may not matter
But these days are mine to miss.

Maybe this was never something
That mattered or was meant to last
But can’t we call once in a while,
Couldn’t I be worth just that?

I know I’m just fine on my own,
I am complete, hold strength within,
But I can’t help thinking, by your side
There’s so much more we could have been.

If you won’t stay, then nor will I
To keep up fragments of our past;
I can’t preserve what’s never strong,
As much as I want this to last.
