I thought:

We had:

Bruised knees from bicycle rides

Reckless hairdos scarred by rushing winds

Matching bracelets and each other’s presence.

I had:

A bleeding heart and a loud mouth

To shout to you my secrets

So I could let down my stone-cold face.

We have:

Lost twin jewelry

A hurting friendship

With one side walking away.

I thought:

If we stayed friends

I would have a safeplace.

I really thought

You’d be the one keeping me sane.
