We were friends
Once, so long ago
He and I
Now things are different

When we were young
We’d play all day
Without a care in the world
Side by side

We were inseparable
He much younger
I much older
He looked up to me…

He looked up to me
Looked to me to be his guide
And I did guide him
For a while

Years went by
Things changed
I found new friends
He did not

We drifted apart
I was glad
Glad to have moved on
Glad to be rid of him

“He never gives me a moment’s peace!”
“He’s always pestering me!”
“I can’t hang out with him all the time!”
“He’s not my only friend.”

But I was his.
And I abandoned him.
I hurt him
I destroyed him

Now he has new friends
Bad friends
Dangerous friends
And he wants to die

He lost his way
And he looked to me to guide
And I was no longer there
Because I had lost mine

He found new guides
In desperation
In my absence
And these guides destroyed him

I failed him
I failed my friend
Now he’s not my friend
My friend is dead

Because I killed him
Because I abandoned him
My friend. My friend.
I killed my friend

My friend who was always there for me
Was once my only friend
We were friends
Once, so long ago…

I am the worst human being in the entire universe. Just thought I should warn you all.

Goodnight.
