we thought we'd stay friends forever; at least that's what we thought. we used to do everything together. we were inseparable, stuck together like glue. i remember my mum dropping me off outside her house every school morning, just so i could walk to school with her. i'd walk home with her, too. in school we always sat together, even at breaks we were together. in the winter, we'd stay inside the classroom and write stories and silly poems to cheer each other up from the cold, bleak weather. i still have our matching notebooks we wrote in. i keep it tucked neatly at the corner of my bedroom desk, occasionally skimming through it and remembering my primary school days.

primary school was quickly over though. i was devastated when the last day of school came. i knew everything was about to change, drastically. i went to a primary school in marple bridge, so everybody attending that school lived in marple, including my best friend, and we both went to our separate schools. but all was not lost completely. we promised we would meet up at least once a month, and we kept our promise... for a while.

at first things weren't as bad as i thought they would be - we kept it touch all the time and were still the friends we used to be. it got to the end of year seven when things began to go downhill. it was hard to keep the friendship we once had. we slowly but surely began to drift apart. our monthly meetings became once every few months, and they weren't as fun. eventually, those winters were as gloomy as the weather, and those meetings never came again. we do speak, now and again, but never like we used to do. i guess this just proves that nothing lasts forever.
a short piece of writing for english homework at school. it's about an old friendship i used to have and how we have grown apart.
