Best Friends
We smiled at
each other and
inside jokes
were the
whole of the
both of us.
Our greetings
were hugs that
lasted up to
five seconds
and made
both of us
smile.
Distant
We haven't smiled
at each other in
weeks.
I ignore your
glances because
you refuse
my hugs as
a greeting since you
began dating her.
Acquaintance
We don't speak now,
when around each other
our eyes never meet.
But I know if
either of us called out
the other would come
running.
No matter what anyone else thought.
