We used to agree.
Well, not on everything,
But on most things.

Last year,
We were known as a packaged deal.

Even if Kate was Meena's best friend,
It was always Meena and I.

But this year,
What would have been a joke last year,
Seems to offend her.

More than anything,
I seem to annoy her.

Is this the beginning of the end?
It's happened before.

In middle school,
Best friend since I was two,
Decided she was sick of me.

Is it happening now?

I can't lose Meena.
She's the only friend who understands,
My references,
My love of musicals,
Theater,
Speech Team,
Choir.

She understands me.
Maybe too well.
Maybe she knows me so well,
That she's seen my flaws.
Maybe I've gotten too comfortable.

Maybe I can't get close to people,
Without pushing them away.
