Small talk before class,

I met you then,

Acquaintances.

 

Acting like children in a college order,

Giggling, smiling, flirting…

Friends.

 

Closer

A crush for you.

I showed no interest

Just friends…

Best friends.

 

Talking,

Listening,

Understanding,

Connecting…

Loving,

Falling for each other,

Naive, unaware

Soulmates…

 

But things change,

We changed,

Unannounced,

Hurt, fear,

Betrayal, confusion,

Tears,

Crept in…

Allowing our precious love

To slip through our fingers

Like dust

Dust

I am numb

And we

Are but acquaintances…

Once again
