Synthetic Division

If you passed an old friend

At the edge of the crowd

Crying their heart out

World turned upside down

Friends surrounding her with love

Trying to cheer her up

Would you rush to help?

Forget how long it’s been

Since you guys last talked

‘Cause hidden feelings are a sin?

I know I shouldn’t hide any longer

Yet I stand back, watch indirectly

As I drift farther from her

Two different worlds entirely

The last glance I’ll take, ever.
