When Did It Get Like This?
The words escaping your lips resonate in my mind.
They are no longer sweet, but bored.
Tired words fill my ears, and never surprise me.
Not only for the warm nights, explosions of color in the air, or the sound of the loons making their way across the lake; but also for reasons of you.
We aren't who we once were, and that's okay. Sort of.
But it hurts...that you're not the same boy who came back to hold me after I apologized for something that wasn't my fault.
And I'm not the same girl who sat next to you simply to talk about nothing, but loving every second.
Maybe this is at the center of my broken heart.
The missing words along the way, and those loving moments which are few and far between after the school year has gotten us both under its wraps.
I think that it'll go back to normal once you come back for the fall. But then it hits me like icy water. You aren't coming back. There are no second chances left over.
