i stood next to you today. did you notice me? did you think about what we used to be? memories flooding your brain like rushing water. did it make you miss me? the little laugh i used to do when you complimented me, the way my heart skipped beats when i caught you staring, the way my breathing would hitch when you wrapped your arms around me. because it hit me all at once and i realized where i really was. what we really were now. strangers. all of the late night conversations, moments where we just looked at each other completely in love, holding hands walking down the street, cuddling underneath blankets after a day in the lake. all to be forgotten. we are now strangers.
