strange how easily we put away the word strangers
we soon replaced it with acquaintance
we replace things so easily
soon acquaintance was followed with friend
and then you replace friend with family
until those words mean nothing
and all the steps reverse
replace family, with friend
and friend with acquaintance
and then we're back at the start
strangers
and it's still strange to me
because I cared enough to remove the label of strangers: acquaintances
then we ripped off the next layer together :friends
and the next layer took more work but we managed to alter it: family
we built it up so strong
i thought that it would last
that we were made to last
but you walked away
and slowly the layers started disintegrating until the only thing left that I could call you was
stranger
