she called herself a friend

she called herself a friend
to call when happy and sad
to have her shoulder to cry on
to laugh with in happy times

she called herself a friend
when we used to be together
and a little time after

when i called she used to answer
when i mailed she used to reply
but not anymore
when she made herself a bunch of new friends

when i called, no answer
when i mailed, no reply

i thought she was a friend
i still thought she was a friend
i thought she must have been so busy
i thought i might just made things messy

but time has changed a friend

when i called, no answer
not until the time i broke the news
i heard her on my line

just to make things clearer
just to confirm more
that we used to be friends
but i think not anymore

we used to be friends
when she called herself a friend
my friend
used to be, then
