You walked in to me again
I'd prepared myself though because God knows I felt it the last time
Then we performed the socially expected greetings
We hug
But this time I didn't feel your heart beating
Tick tock tick tock
Why
Does it no longer echo mine?
I see you playfully heaving and laughing at her jokes
She was me
Once upon a time
Time was our biggest enemy
Too much space to grow
Now we've both been spread too thin
And have lost the will to lay on top of each other
Your colour is still left in my thoughts but
I have finally let you relinquish the brush
This was about someone I loved. We we're only friends but we knew we were more. After a few months apart, I saw them at a party, we hugged but I felt nothing and neither did they. We didn't need to lie to each other. It was a disgusting relief.It was easier. The images are reused from poems I first wrote about this person as a lovestruck heart throb.
