My Best Friend Lonely

poem by: Marie Donaldson
Written on Apr 01, 2017

When you move away
You make plans with your friends
To text each other everyday and talk at least once a week
The plan seemed like it was a mutual thing at first 

The first month or so the plan follows through 
But at a certain point you stop getting replies 
The calls stop coming 
At first you will feel confused but try not to be upset about it 
You try calling them but there is no answer
You get a reply to your text a day later

Eventually you stop trying
You don't want to annoy them 
They probably have more important things to do 
You try to make friends with the people in this new place but nothing really fits right

Now your nights are spent glued to the phone waiting, wondering if someone will call
Someone has to, I mean there's no way they just 
forgot about you 

Then you realize you saw this coming
You've moved before and been through this before
You told your friends that you would probably lose contact more and more each day
They told you it was nonsense and that would never happen 
That your friendship was too strong to let distance affect it 

You should've trusted your instincts
It's better to be prepared for lonely rather than feel it slowly swallow you up
Now you and lonely now everything about each other
