you left
and i felt true heartbreak
my veins rush with guilt
my eyes drenched in shame
my heart aching with regret
where did we go wrong?
it’s not fair that we’re strangers now
i don’t know what you did today, but
i know what makes you anxious on holidays
i still make my ramen the way you used to, do you?
i catch myself wanting to tell you things
but i know you won’t be there when i come home
we know so much about each other
and nothing at all at the same time
we shared our sheets
our flesh melded together
we made each other laugh
and now we’re strangers
our shared dreams lost to the unknown
i wonder what they’d think,
the versions of us that were so in love
so excited to conquer the world
i wonder what they’d think
i wonder what you think
now that we’re strangers
