You started off as the person in the back. I didn't know you nor you I. But my friends said hey to you and sooner or later I fell into that habit too. We exchanged our "hey"s and went back to our separate ways.

Except we didn't just exchange "hey"s. We blindly trusted each other more than we trust ourselves and look where we are now.

Inseparable. We belonged together. Just birds of a feather. Laughed about the silly things and cried together when it became all too much.

But that was enough, nothing more was needed nor expected, just the pure company was the best time of our lives.

We could sit in silence but as long as we were in each others presence everything was perfect. Time was nothing when we were together. We felt rich enough.


But then something had to change. You felt as if you owed someone something, something you couldn't repay by being with me.


So you cut down on the sharing, started putting up walls and even cut down the talking. Where does that leave me now?


It's left me in my own pile of rubble. You forgot to warn me and so my walls stayed down and all that cutting... it hit me directly, now I have wounds.


But it's fine. You carry on like nothing ever happened. Carry on with the facade that you don't still feel the same you did before. It was so easy for you to lie.


And so we became strangers once again. You were the person in the back. I didn't know you nor you I.
