When We (New) Poem by Trinidad Villafranca

Back to the moment...

When we were more than just two strangers.
Back when you knew me like no other.
When we was more then you or I.
Back when it was us against the world.

We let silence enter and become the center
of communication.

Priorities began to change
Silence in exchange
For argument.

We had the opportunity for unity
But your lust for something new
Became my addiction for something true.

When neither cried.
When neither tried.
When neither wondered why.

When we became nothing more than
You or I.
