Distant
We're both five foot four,
We hate mac and cheese,
We both dyed our hair blond,
And love watching bees
Twirl lazily.
~
We grew up together
We're two of a kind,
It's like all our thoughts come
From the very same mind,
A secret place.
~
Then I started painting
And you started band
So I missed the feeling
Of holding your hand
While we worked.
~
Commissions began
And performances happened
But that wasn't all
Our friendship was dampened
Beyond that.
~
We both did our things
And I woke up to find
That somewhere, sometime,
I had left you behind
In a dust cloud.
~
It wasn't all my fault,
You walked away too
I think that deep down
While it happened we knew
We were drifting.
~
You moved to Seattle,
And I moved to Maine
I doubt you remember
My face or my name
Is it foggy?
~
Cause maybe you feel
The same empty as me
Or maybe you found
A new clarity.
Just without me.
~
Now we're just markings
Two dots on a map
Existing to measure
Our biggest mishap
We're distance.
