We aren't a "thing" anymore
Sometimes as the time passes
Like water flowing over pebbles in a riverbed
And we are shaped by all that time
I forget who we used to be.

If we took casts of ourselves
Would our faces even look the same?

The experience of being with you
Stolen phone calls across the distance
Did it change me?
Eight hours away and you're as real
As this statue of Adonis
And on a pedestal too.

Yet, everything dies and
Somehow we did too.
I'll never forget when you said I love you.
After that, when I admitted I loved you back
I've never felt more weak.
Why?

Because us?  We started as a game.
Who could be less jealous?
Who could take more pain?
Who could love and snap their fingers and walk away?
My darling, I lost track of the score.
Aloud, I claim I won.
But I'm sure you do, too.

Did either of us learn anything?
If we took casts of ourselves now
Would it show anything but wasted time?
Would it show how much my heart is breaking?
Would it show you with your wife and kids?
Would it show me alone?
