Seeing You

I thought it'd be fulfilling

Seeing you again

But seeing you, was like seeing a stranger

And sadly not refreshing

I never realized how little about you I knew

Those stories I was told, were they even true?

But seeing you, was like seeing a stranger

Sad and a little blue

I should know these things about you

Your likes and dislikes, too

But seeing you, was like seeing a stranger

Our conversation was long and overdue

I should be happy to be able to share those words with you

But I barely spoke

And you barely listened

But seeing you, was like seeing a stranger

We were just waiting for our meeting, however brief it was, to be finished

I should be longing for a longer time together

But our hearts were no longer tethered

Because seeing you, was like seeing a stranger

The atmosphere so tense and weathered

And yes, I will admit it

I love you all the same

But seeing you, was like seeing a stranger

Related by blood, but detached with love

Together filled to the brim with shame

All the while sharing the blame
