My friends sent me a series of photos of you
Apparently you were spotted in the flesh
It feels like a distant memory that I was once that close to you
In the pictures you’re smiling
And I can’t help but smile looking at you with that smile on your face
“You look like you’re doing well”
I think to myself
It’s not that im not doing well,
Im doing pretty okay, I’d like to think
But I’m happy you’re okay
I wonder if you think the same of me
I look at you fondly reliving the good times, and well, the bad too
I’m happy you’re happy
Even if it wasn’t, it isn’t me
You once meant the world to me
And I care about you deeply
But all I ever wanted was to see you happy
And as I look at you from a photograph,
Reminding me of the distance between us,
I’m just really happy you’re happy.

I remember you fondly, do you remember me the same?
