I thought I had a best friend
I thought we had each other’s back
you had mine I had yours
I thought I had someone
who considered me as a best friend

but it turns out you were abashed
to come running for backing to me
It turns out you turned your back
and went somewhere else
Where you preferred to go look
for someone else in a time of need

I thought if I had an emergency someday
I would come streaming to you
But the truth is I will think twice before I do that
I thought I had someone with whom I shared my clandestine thoughts

But it turns out I had a best friend that had a best friend
It turns out we only quoted things we never told anyone
It turns out I was just a friend of his friends

I thought to have one you have to go a long way back
I thought to have one you have to say
how many years you’ve known each other
I thought connection has something to do with becoming the one
Maybe I am also one to someone else but I never felt it
maybe I thought, I thought but it turns out I really did
