we met when we were little, the world at our command.
we drifted for years, rejoicing when we once met again.
we were confused together, crying when we discovered we held the same secret.
we fell in love, at least, i did.
we held onto that love for years, a campsite i will truly never forget.
we drifted once more, a month i can never endure again.
i yelled over the phone, head pounding and voice tearing.
i dry heaved on the side of the road, hanging up.
i missed you.
i found you again, but it was always different.
and now
we grew up too fast
