Alongside

We talked for hours

However, times changed fast

Soon we entered silent waters
Drifting in our boats alongside
Glances were all we shared
For words, now, felt foreign.
We had built our own walls
Different habits, different thoughts
Ruining the connection we once shared
Distorting the memories we'd made.
The river divided into smaller streams
Life pulled us in different directions

Were we ever to meet again?
In the ocean someplace...

Were we ever to talk again?
In whispers like friends...

Or would we no longer recognise the other?
After all
It seemed like a mere dream
A dream I'd give anything to relive
If it meant you were by my side...
