Stranger

Before we were strangers

We were friends

Maybe something more.

You knew me

And I knew you

Almost completely.

Spring bloomed

Full of promise

Together

We anticipated our future.

We walked together

In summer

Your hand took mine

I think that's when we knew.

Autumn leaves fell

Your words began to tell

Of all the reasons

This couldn't be.

Winter turned cold

Along with your heart

Two strangers we were

Our friendship torn apart.
