wish you were here

i wish you were here

so that we could laugh

at the absurdity

that has been my last year

i remember how

you used to make me laugh

and i wanted to

make you do the same

when it finally came time

to say farewell

yet i can’t make sense

of our situation

what really broke us?

how can something drift apart

that was never whole to begin with?

i wish i could’ve been more for you

but i wouldn’t have been myself

and my honesty and sincerity

is an unfaltering fault

i’m sorry to have cracked the perfect image.

if we exchanged more words

would it change the circumstances?

can expression shift the tide?

or does the ocean of emotion

sway its own way?

our world may never know
