Under the lamppost
Talking to one another
A nice refreshing breeze
Two strangers meeting up
Getting to know one another
Talking about their life
Funny moments sharing stories
Planning to make new ones
Spent an evening under the stars
Felt like it was all going to line up
Talked on the phone nightly
Prior to the evening planned
Silence felt right together
Lots of smiles with quality time

Everything happening so fast
Moving forward
Not stuck in the past
Change without say
Without a choice
Not making a scene
Feeling fed up bad communication
Dk anything out of the loop
Maybe being letting go
A blessing instead of stressing

Sharing old stories
Lost in memories
Parts of life
That caused growth
Another way of living
Felt like much more
Now it's passed
It doesn't matter
Onto the next
Way more selective
Over trusting was a mistake

Haven't had a good friend who's chill
Some always putting on an act
While others pretend
To be someone they are not
A friend where you can open up
Without being judged or criticized
They can do the same
Instead of it being used against you
Some who stands up for you
Has your back times have changed
Loyalty and noble companions
Are no more hard to trust
So many fakes and phonies
Can't connect or get close to anyone

Can't be mad things happen
Not one to blame others
Always trying to make it work
Said nothing still tension
Spoke up judging eyes
Silently watching
Always try to be fair
Treating others right
Wish it was easy to not care
Heartache and heart pain
Back to the drawing board
To make a new plan

Played the hand dealt
Still in the game
Chips are low
Hard to take a risk
Afraid to lose it all
Another chance
Might be the last
Feeling stuck Grid lock
Hard to breathe
Had it all going well
Now it feels like
It's being taken away
Wide awake feeling anxiety
Soon will crash with depression
Trying to make it
Through these tough time
Can't always win but giving it all
Taking the lesson with the loss
Gave it all gave everything
Came up short feeling cheated

So much change
Have no say or control
Feeling frustrated
Things went well
Now are ending
Mixed emotions
So close yet so far
What does it mean
Took it in
Couldn't get enough
Wanted to embrace
Got to close it went away
Kept a distance
Eventually stray away
Cared too much or not enough
It always made things tough
