I knew you once
I know you now
But it’s just not the same
I’m not sure why
I’m not sure how
Or if I am to blame

We were once held
By friendship’s cord
Nothing could separate
Our days were filled
With laughs and dreams
But now we hesitate

Where once we smiled
Across the room
When our eyes met at glance
We now pretend
We do not see
As if it were a chance

Why, my old friend
Do we go on
As if we never were
What caused the drift
Of lives like ours
Is it my fault or yours
I dream of you
Mostly when I'm sad
Or alone
For a moment I forget
You're gone
I get caught up
In the moment of
Disbelief
Maybe that's why
I intentionally put
Myself in situations
I can't win
That way
When the sadness
Ensues
I just
Close my eyes and
Dream of you
Like the salty breeze
You and your cigarette smoke
Invaded my air
Visions of blue and grey
Sweep my mind blank
I look down to your fingers
Clutching your cross
Teasing god
Along with my thoughts
I whisper your name
Over and over
Like a forgotten rose
I feel your bitter thorns
Bruise my skin
But I let them ***** me again
Hoping that the same breeze that
Brought you to me
Will have the decency to
Let you stay

— The End —
