remember when we got excited just at holding each others’ hands?

or when we hugged, and we forgot we had places to be

because we were so caught up in trying to hold on

remember when we smiled at each other like we knew

something no one else did?

or when we couldn’t stand being apart because it felt empty?

well now it seems we can’t even look at each other

without screaming or crying

and that’s now.

that is what our world has come to.
