that this is reality.

and this was us.
boring and wordless.

I knew then that we weren’t
going to suddenly become interesting.
Or even interested in each other.

Because we didn’t have the words for it.

or not wanting to leave because
I want to be near you. 

It’s just a waste to keep thinking of you
because we’re not going to fall in love.
We’re not even going to be friends anymore.

And maybe if I would’ve done what I’ve
been dragging out, letting you go,
I might have remembered you as something good ”
