Years Ago

They say to drop the past; that it is not important. How can one forget someone like you? Forget the memories of our joined lives? How close we were when we played "Store" and "Newspaper." When we reenacted Spiderman. You were always Peter Parker and I was always Gwen Stacy. When we pretended we were stuck in a tornado or married with kids. But that was years ago. How great the times were when we ran around for hours. When we swam in the pool by morning and indulged in video games when night fell without a care in the world. Making petty snowmen in December in the event that school was canceled. But that was years ago. How I put my trust in you and divulged all my inner thoughts your way. We wept together and laughed together. We fought each other and loved each other. I borrowed your pajamas and you listened to my music. But that was years go. How you betrayed me when a stupid girl appeared. You called me names and insulted those I loved. I cussed you out and you stopped talking to me. We sent hatred to each other. But that was years ago. How different things are now. We barely share anything and sit in awkward silence. I'd rather be with my parents than play video games with you. Someone once told me that I should forget the past. That the future alone matters. I would have liked to believe them, but they said it years ago.
