Looking Back Poem by Paula Lubbe

Maybe it was never meant to be
This you and me
What did I ever see in you?
That you said you saw in me too

Is it ok to feel alone?
Though we are both here, at home
Don’t you think we’ve gone too far?
We’re already so far apart

And now it seems like it’s the end
I know after this we won’t stay friends
But would you think of me someday
And wonder if it would’ve turned out ok

And when I start to look back now
At when we always joked about
I turn around to look at you
And see you’re not the boy who I once knew

I wish we could’ve turned this thing around
Then maybe we could’ve slept so sweet and sound
And always cherished what we’ve found
Instead of just looking back now
