when we used to talk about everything
and relished the secret friendship we shared

when it was you i ran to when i had problems
and me you came to when you needed advice

has so much time passed
that we are like strangers

are our hearts no longer open
that we have nothing much to say now

perhaps it's no longer we
it's you and it's me

why the reticence?

i've tried so hard to give you all the space you needed. tried not to push you or make you do things you weren't comfortable with. but somehow you always seemed afraid that i would demand more than what you were willing.

when i replied nope to your question, i knew that things will never be as they were before. that perhaps i might have moved on and stopped hoping that things will go back to the way they once were.

but you know what? you will always have a space in my heart, my dear friend :) if one day you decide to look back, i will always be here..
