You & I,
are a lullaby

We're the deafening *silence
just after the crash
we are moments of happiness
that never last

We're a riddle
that has no answer
we are both the cure
and the cancer

We've read this book
a thousand times, and in our hearts
we both know this fairytale
can never have a happy ending

I wish I could say how much I miss you,
pinpoint where our lives changed that day,
once so close and now miles apart,
yet not in distance but rather the heart.

Eyes once so familiar and now so unknown,
surrounded by crowds yet standing alone,
I've started a sentence a thousand times,
but find myself more silenced than a mime.

Do you miss the way things used to be?
the late night talks and lounging in trees
Am I alone in feeling regret?
replaying our highlights on an imaginary cassette.

Our friendship once so strong has now left me with pains,
I now see why they use names for hurricanes.
