You And Me Poem by Kelsey Gallant

You And Me



We grew up together
You lived right next door
We made plans about forever
When we were only four

And we walked to the bus stop
At age eight, age nine, age ten
We didn't need the other kids
We were the best of friends

You said,
"This is how it always was
This is how it's gonna be
And nothing's ever gonna change this
It's you and me"

When we started middle school
Things began to change
You started making other friends
And I got pushed away

I grabbed you in the hall one day
Said, "Get away from them
They haven't known you all your life
And I'm your closest friend

This is how it always was
This is how it's gonna be
And nothing's ever gonna change this
It's you and me"

You didn't take it kindly
You kind of shook me off
I ran away crying
You didn't even stop

But later on you found me
You placed your hand on mine
Gave a sad-but-happy smile
And looked into my eyes

Said, "I'm sorry how it always was
Isn't how it's always gonna be
Life is full of changes
Even for you and me

But even though it's different now
From how it used to be
We can roll with all the changes
And still be you and me

We won't be each other's only friends
But friends, we'll always be
We can roll with all the changes
And still be you and me"
