We are two parallel lines

To straight, never-ending lines that stand

side by side

Or so we thought

We never thought we would fall apart

intersect at a point

and cross paths forever

never looking back

We never thought we would fail

our times together

our wishes together

our hopes together

our dreams together

It all got tied in a knot

unable to be undone

“Once something leaves your mouth

You can’t take it back.”

You always used to say

and I heard you

every time

Every single time
