God, how it hurts
that we do not talk
ever.
We can’t talk like
we used to.
You were my best friend
long before you
were my lover,
you were the person
who meant the most to me
at any stage of my life
long before I
fell for you.

And now we can’t talk
we can’t spend time
together
without being awkward.
And even though
neither of us
are in love with the other
out thoughts still go back
to a time
when we were happy.

Now we are alone,
even when,
we are together
