Strangers
As I look at you
You look at me
We say nothing
We stand there quietly
Like strangers that meet on a busy street
As a thousand days pass by
We still don’t speak
There once was a story between us two
A story
That gave us anything and everything to say
Something happened
Something happened that caused you to change
You changed into something that pushed me away
To this day I have nothing else to do besides sit alone
As I see you walk by me
Saying goodbye was the ending to this long lasting story
I found out that calling you “my friend” was not my answer to anything
