-now we were

the four of us would laugh and hold hands
tripping over cracks together
we stay out until one of us got in trouble
we would look forward to it every day

two others joined us
now we were six
a longer line of us holding hands
we would stay out even longer until the sun was too much to bear

half of us left
now we were three
one of us would go off with a fake
but the other two stayed together

one came back, regretting leaving us
now we were really three
spending hours talking about life
and turning into family

two of us got together
now there was a third wheel
but he was fine
all he cared about was our happiness

he is gone
now we were two
awkwardly walking together
due to an unexpected break up

now we were friends
wanting more than platonic touch
but i felt uneasy
the trust had faded away

now he walks alone
and i have new friends
who knows what will happen, all i know is that
now we aren't
