Meandering in the moonlight,
On an empty street in the night.
My mind wandered back to you,
Back to when it was just us two.
Why did you have to cut and run?
I always thought of you as the one
Together we were toxic in nature,
We were not a pleasant
caricature.
Now I am here in this crowd all alone
Now you are there and to you time has shown.
That it is where we belong
Even though it feels so wrong.
It is clear to me that the love that once was
Is now nowhere to be found within me.
Yet there is a longing for you.
It may be true that lovers cannot be friends,
But what if they aren't lovers anymore?
Does there have to be animosity till the beating of our
heart ends.
Your place is as pristine as it ever was,
Just on it a different light falls.
You may not think of me nor I of you for those 3AM calls,
Yet in the happiest moments when all my closest friends are
at my side,
I look for your face within frames on my walls.
I know you wonder of me, you know I wonder of you.
We may or may not have different people we love now.
But the arrival of one does not have to mean departure of
the other.
Why do you make it so tough to stay friends,
When clearly our minds and hearts with each other perfectly
blend.
You get me and I get you,
Then why rob ourselves of the peace, our hearts which can mend.
You may not be the most special person in my life
That position is now among many shared.
But make no mistake that your absence is felt at every
strife
Your embrace is missed at every smile
Your shoulder is missed after every hard mile.
Let's not pretend that returning to a friendship will ever
be easy
But it's not like this is any different.
That love isn't there in me and for all I know its the same
for you,
But there is love, a different kind it may be
I think its enough to set us free.
So let go of the habit of the old
Its holding us back from being friends like shining gold.
Let go of the habit and getting used to of being together
only in a certain way,
Let go of our egos so that we may see the light of a
beautiful day.
Life is as short as the bend of a mountain river
Alone we will wither.
Come let's look out for each other
Deep down we still want the best for one another.
Over these years we have seen each other grow,
So why can't we help each other glow.
Our light will not fall on each other
Yet it will illuminate our life and help us come out of any
low.
We still care,
Yet to be in each other's presence we cannot bear.
This is the conundrum of our lives
To have hearts with love and hands with knives.
Soon you will be a shadow in my mind
Soon the windows of my head will shut the blinds.
We may have lost love but why do we have to lose friendship
The most important boat in life is companionship.
Why do you spew venom on my days?
When we can sit together for a beer, talk about life and
stargaze.
Yet to have a peace in your mind is also important.
To have a life with some consistency and less extremes is also important
There is no point in putting each other through hell every
second,
Its better to let this fade away right to the very end.
I wish you well and I wave goodbye to your image in my head
You're now nothing more than a memory from the past,
I do not miss our love,
Yet the happy images from our friendship will last.
Now you are a silhouette and nothing more,
Right until life's ocean washes you up to the shore
Right till our paths cross once more.
