Echoes of What Once Was Friendship

Head full of dreams, not a single one shattered.
She had me, and that’s all that mattered.
Sure the hardships came and passed.
Just little things, they never amassed.
?
Slowly the hardships got harder and harder.
Soon, I had to think smarter and smarter.
Suddenly there was nothing I could do.
I couldn’t help, she needed someone new.

Perhaps someone more like her.
I began to wonder if there were.
She grew farther and farther away.
There is barely anything left of her here today.

Don’t go old friend, don’t leave me behind.
