what happened to us

dear love, 

what happened to us

we used to text every day 

about what was happening in our lives

about the next boy i was crushing on

about the work we were doing

about the classes we were taking

but now all i see are four words

in a text 

from you

and i don't know how to reply 

i am concerned that 

you are not well

because you don't text back immediately anymore

and you don't ask how my life is

while i tell you about it

and i ask how yours is

i haven't seen you in more than a year

i'm sure that changes people

we didn't even wish each other a happy new year

isn't that sad

when i thought you were my best friend

but what happened, hon

my inspiration

my role model 

my confidant

where did you go
