All too soon

I was warned of this time
Inevitable, they say
I wasn’t really blind
But shooed those thoughts away

Others loved to poke 
And taunt, the end was nearing
I would nod, as they spoke
Knowing, while not hearing

You’re girl’s almost a teen
You’re far from her best pal
Though the fortunes did sting
I just upped my game and style 

Perhaps I felt exempt 
From the shunning other’s knew
Adolescence may not tempt
Our bond was far too true

But now I sit alone
While she’s locked in her room
Her least favorite person
It happened all too soon
