Adolescence
Hey dude
A simple two syllable phrase
Is all that's needed
To become acquainted
You talk more
But are forced to leave
It was an impactful meeting
Communication continues and you become closer
You are very similar to this person
You enjoy common interests and
Also enjoy learning of their opinions.
The enjoyment allows you to spend more time
With them.
Hanging out every weekend
Debauchery, jokes, it’s bliss.
The same routine weekly
But you don't mind.
Eventually, things change for some reason
You don't know why but you notice it.
It doesn't bother you at first
As you think it will soon blow over.
But it doesn't.
Why did you change dude?
You stopped being humble.
Ego and hubris took over.
Adolescence wants to impress everybody.
I won't ever stop being your friend
But
I just wish things would revert
To the beginning.
