As if its not US

 We are strangers now.

We were once very close. We couldn't go a day without talking and laughing but now years pass by without a hi.

We are strangers now, you who called my name everyday, asked where I was and what I was doing. 

We ate together, you didn't want to eat a meal without me.

But now I don't even know what your favourite food is.

We are strangers now, you knew where I lived, who I lived with and what I enjoyed most.

Now, you don't even know where I live or who I live with.

I thought we were going to be close forever,

It's the amount of care you showed me.

The love we confessed to each other.

The joys we shared, our inner jokes, the nicknames, the secrets.

I thought a time like this was impossible, a time when we go days and years  without talking

We enjoyed listening to music together and talked about our favourite movies.

We planned our future holidays, the movies we wanted to watch,

The food we wanted to eat,

The places we wanted to visit

To say I miss us would be an understatement.

But am left wondering what went wrong

What changed,

Did I start walking a little faster or way too slow

Did my favorite food change 

No its the distance, why did we move miles and miles apart

We didn't even stop to think what impact this distance would have on us

Maybe it was inevitable 

That we are strangers now is a strange thought

And this technology didn't even help, I thought it would.

I said I would text you seconds later, the seconds turned into hours and now years

In the same way I waited for your call, I said maybe tomorrow, maybe next week until now its years later

I wonder if we can still share the same moments of laughter

I wonder how much has changed

Your interests, your ambitions

Your music your favourite food

Maybe it was inevitable, we grew but we grew apart.

I miss you and I hope you hold a beautiful memory of us 

Because I do. I still smile when someone mentions your name

Welcome to Space of thoughts, I hope we learn from each other and grow together.
