Drifting

I can feel you pulling away,
I'm so tongue-tied,
I don't know what to say,
I wish I knew what I did,
To make you turn your back,
But really only slightly,
Each time a small attack,
I'm too scared to say anything,
Because I'm afraid to know,
So I've been holding my breath,
Hoping you'd let it go,
But we only keep drifting,
Farther and further apart,
Our friendship is shifting,
And it's breaking my heart,
I wish you wouldn't just walk away,
Dropping my hand like we never laughed,
And I can't understand,
And I'm feeling daft,
Just left in the dust,
Like a once beloved toy,
Left behind with her childhood,
When the girl likes the boy.
