Alter

You were once a friend
You looked at me as an idol
I looked at you as a future
If time passed as usual

Now four years later
I can’t bear the sight of you
It’s human nature to change, right?
But to completely alter who you were?

How our views have changed
You look at me and see no one
I look at you
And only one thought passes through my mind…

Am I supposed to consider you human?
