Was it me or was it you? At some point it doesn’t matter, We’ve gone our separate ways And nothing remains but memories: Our playful give and take, The laughter that softened the tears, The bedroom ballet that kept us smiling. So many smiles that we thought Would be emotional cement. I can’t muster any bitterness But I can wallow in the happy times That touched the edges of our lives And maybe never penetrated deep enough To sustain what we imagined we had Together. Forever.

Was it me or was it you? At some point it doesn’t matter, We’ve gone our separate ways And nothing remains but memories: Our playful give and take, The laughter that softened the tears, The bedroom ballet that kept us smiling. So many smiles that we thought Would be emotional cement. I can’t muster any bitterness But I can wallow in the happy times That touched the edges of our lives And maybe never penetrated deep enough To sustain what we imagined we had Together. Forever.
