How did it happen?

When did we change?

I shifted this way –

You glided in that

When did seeing you

Become difficult for me?

Over coffee

Nothing to say

Painful silence

Of topics untouched

Wishing I had my book

Or that I was alone

I took a different road

Found inner peace

And I lost you

On the journey

I grieve for the gap

That keeps us separated

Warm memories of you

Keep tears at bay

Years of laughter

Gone

Time of friendship

Over and done

Yet today I know

I’m in a better place

Cool hearted

Not really missing us
