Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
But we keep loving anyway."
-Lin-Manuel Miranda


We like to tell stories of loves mighty triumph

When the couple gets together at the end 

Or the cute little letters that they like to send

 

But they never tell stories of how to get over a friend.

Because best friends are forever

 it's kind of in the name

Yet sometimes we grow up we grow apart we go our separate ways

And the people in our lives today aren't meant to be there always

 

Somehow I think it's harder to get over a friend 

Then it is a lover who left in the end

Cause love is one if those mysteries

That you can only ever get a glimpse of

But you've been making friends since you were 10

The people you loved before you knew what love was

The bonds you made that were supposed to be forever

 

Yet here we stand at the junction of life

Where we must part ways 

 

And it hurts more because we grew together

Our roots are so entangled with one another's

It's impossible to see where yours start and mine end

Because we always thought we would be friends

In sickness and health, till death do us part

 

So how can I possibly live without you

Without your presence in my life 

When the constant of you becomes another thing that falls away

When I have to learn how to lose a friend
