When
Did we get so far apart?
Last I remember you were standing next to me,
Holding my hand,
Encouraging me,
Smiling your dazzling smile
That you know I can't resist.
We were once best friends,
Playmates,
Lovers,
But now?
Who knows?
I didn't realize you were leaving
Until you were already gone.
Looking back now I can see the signs:
The look in your eyes when I mentioned the future,
The falter in your step when I grabbed your hand,
The way you wouldn't meet my gaze.
I suppose I've lost you now.
You've slipped away when I wasn't looking,
Because although you no longer love me
You still can't bare to see pain in my eyes.
Of course I hold part of the blame.
I'm surprised you stayed even this long.
I've been so busy lately,
Too busy for you,
Too busy to even realize you're gone.
But I still miss you.
I put on a facade to hid it,
But everyone can still tell there's something wrong.
My close friends notice your absence from my life
And they curse your name.
I laugh along,
But secretly,
I'd give anything to have you back.
