Once, we were floating on friendship's wings
Enjoying a bond closer than that of siblings
Almost like we explored and knew each other
In ways no one else would even bother.
Deep in your eyes, I read clear phrases
Of what you tried to hide in your soul's mazes
I saw your true you, your thirst to live,
Your best, your worst, in every perspective.
We still weren't friends yet it even felt better,
Just by looking at you, I solved every matter
Almost like we had the same heart and mind,
A tight bond that nowhere else you'd find.
Once, we were close, what's happening now?
We're drifting apart and I can't see how,
Where are you to help me through dangers
Why did we shift from friends to strangers?
Seeing you was a cause of elated rapture
Now it's worse than a throbbing torture
We barely exchange a 'hi' on the fly
When somewhere, by chance, we pass by.
Is this how our story is meant to end?
Should I pretend you were never a friend?
Should I nodd and continue my walk
Without taking the time of a little talk?
Is it all dead, can't we try to save a bit?
Is this the closure that I will have to admit?
And am I supposed to smile like I agree
That we're now further than far can be?
I refuse it, yet I'm confined to the fact
That everytime we cross, I have to pull an act
Still it's murdering me, from the inside out,
I just wish to stand in your face and shout
'What happened, where did it all go wrong?
Why are you accepting this and playing along?
Don't you miss the special bond we had
Don't you miss me, aren't you a little sad?
I'm not asking for hours, just a brief moment
To look at your eyes and stop the torment,
To ask you just how has your life been,
If I'm worried about you, is it now a sin?
See, I tried to hide it but it's clearer with time
That without you, my life's verses don't rhyme
I just miss you, and I ask why it's not the same
It wasn't your fault nor mine but who's to blame? '
Once, we were roaming on affection's street
Together, ready to face the world and defeat
It's killing me now, don't you even see
That by losing you, I lost the best part of me?
