Like We Were

by Chrissie Sellars Pisces - Not entered

You're hiding something
what?
you're uncomfortable 
why?
i thought things were cleared up
i thought we could be friends again
like we were
like the memories that see, to have a golden tinge to them
the memories you can't help but laugh at again and again
what happened to us?
where did we go wrong?
was it me
did i somehow push you away
or did you leave
voluntarily?
where did you go?
why didn't i go too?
maybe i couldn't
maybe somehow i chose not too
why didn't you take me, kidnap me
i would've gone peacefully eventually
anything to be with you
like we were
like at Christmas
when we talked for hours on the phone
when we didn't spend an evening uncomfortable or apart
or like on the trip
walking together through the museum
listening and respecting each other's views
when we sit in silence now
it's just awkward
before
it was the easy silence of good friends, exceptionally close friends
sitting almost in reverence at the sight of our closeness
to be like we were 
would be paradise
can it ever happen again?
will we survive the toils?
can we survive the toils?
though it may be tough
the struggle would be worth it
to be like we were.

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this when a friend and i were having some problems with other people
assuming things about our relationship.
