Different Directions

We were close

then the road got wide

We used to talk in corners where the light stayed low two

quiet little storms with nowhere else to go You had hurt behind

your smile I had pride behind my teeth we both knew something

real but we both forgot to reach Then the years started pulling

like a tide around our feet you went looking for your freedom

I went learning how to breathe Now I see you in the

weather when the night turns blue not because I own the past

but I still remember you

I don’t blame the distance I don’t blame the change

I just hate how fast two close souls turn strange

We went different directions under the same old sky

you were chasing your healing

I was learning not to hide We went different directions but the

feeling never lied

some people leave your life

and still live somewhere inside I wonder what you listen to when

the world gets loud

wonder if you found a place where you can let it out

I wonder if your soft parts ever learned to feel safe or

if you built new walls with a prettier gate I was not

who I am now you were not who you became we were

kids with heavy hearts trying not to say the names If I

saw you by chance I would not ask you to stay I

would just smile like the past found a gentle way to wave

I don’t need an ending

I don’t need a sign

I just needed one song

to make peace with time

We went different directions under the same old sky you were chasing

your healing

I was learning not to hide

We went different directions but the feeling never lied

some people leave your life

and still live somewhere inside Maybe that was the lesson

maybe that was the gift some hearts are only borrowed but they

teach you how to live No blame in the silence no chains

on the door just a soft little ache where a person was

before

We went different directions under the same old sky

you were chasing your healing

I was learning not to hide

We went different directions and I finally know why

some people are not meant to stay but they still change your

life

We were close

then the road got wide
