Let's Get Together Soon

We passed each other on the sidewalk

Shame filled eye contact so we both stopped

Your hair’s gone grey

We’ve both gained weight

It’s been a while since we last talked

We made small talk about your fiance

I tried to hide that I forget her name

When your dad passed

You pulled away

I didn’t get why back then

Now I think I understand

The vices and the late nights

I can wrap my mind around those times when we feel so alone

There’s so much we could say, but we never do

We just smile and say let's get together soon

I spent the whole drive home

Replaying our pointless conversation

I just hope you know

I wish that I had shown you patience

So I looked you up that night when I couldn’t sleep

Came across that old picture of you and me

Barely twenty two

I had my arm around you

I knew right then I had to say something

I think I understand

Why you did those things I judged you for

I can wrap my mind around those times when we feel so alone

I want to know if how I feel right now is what you were going through

So If you can, let’s get together soon
