A Bed Not Made for Two
It’s been years since we’ve spoken
Since the strobe lights hit our faces
Reds and blues and purples
Rotating around us, through us
It’s been years
It’s been years since we traveled
Through cities and beaches and the unknowns
Weaving in between buildings
And stealing kisses through the alleyways
It’s been years
It’s been years since we lived together
Since we shared a single full bed
Never made for two
But always made for us
It’s been years
It’s been years since the time you told me you loved me
Because you had to love her too
Not because you wanted
But because it was right to do
It’s been days since you returned
Speaking in apologies
Like others speak of the weather
Casually and without thought
It’s been days
It’s been days since the silence
Since the darkness came back
It had been years since I felt that
Minutes have passed now
Minutes since I apologized
Minutes since you’ve left
It’s been minutes since we’ve seen each other
Since we shared a single space
Memories come and fade, but one stays
That bed was never made for two
And never made for us
