I don't know how we got to this point, you and I. The point where we purposefully avoid each other, hide ourselves behind our friends, and stand far apart in a crowded room. These are children's games that we're playing. It's insanity at it's best. Frankly, it's confusing and I wish things could go back to how they once were.
I remember the first time we ever met. The memory is bright in my mind and no matter what I do, I can't force it out. We met in that little record shop on the edge of town, remember? I was flipping through The Beatles records, searching for that perfect album that would help me escape reality. You made yourself known by stating that The Beatles were the best band there ever was. Of course, I agreed with you as I did with anyone who said it. But you said it with reverence and I looked up from the records to see the one who had the same praise as I. Your eyes were like a fresh spring that lay at the bottom of a mountain.
Then, remember that time, our first date when the rain began to pour from the clouds. The rain drenched us and we searched for cover quickly. We found ourselves in that quaint cafe where we sipped lattes and ate sweet pastries. That was the first time I realized that I had finally met someone that I could be compatible with, not just in that moment, but forever.
Our first kiss was nothing short of amazing. I was breathless from the weight of that moment, the meaning that was behind it. That was the moment I realized I loved you.
What happened to us? Why are we now standing far away from each other in this crowded room? I'm looking at you and you stare right back, but we don't make a move. I try to read your eyes, to find some answer. I'm so confused. But you close them and their depth are erased to be replaced with clouds.
I want to run to you and throw my arms around your neck and forget everything that happened. I want to wave the clouds away from your eyes and see their real depth, to see the one I once loved. Still love.
But I don't and I turn my head away from you. I accept that fact that nothing will ever be the same again or go back to the way it once was. I move my feet toward the door, and ready myself for a new beginning; a new beginning that will never include you.
