What ever happened to our love?

To feel so close to someone

Who now resembles a passing stranger

Your friends send messages

under the guise of affection

I see them only as declarations

Of an ever fading hope

That we will never return to what once was

The passion we shared

The tender moments shaped together

Are hidden by the anger

The upset

Of all that has happened

That same tenderness is a fleeting moment

Never to be regained

The past kept from us

Nostalgia letting only glimpses through

The true form of the us lost to time

Until I met you

I felt hopeless

Love

Affection

Passion

Tenderness

We’re just words

But they are not just words

They are feelings

Feelings that can be returned

Feelings that have not perished

But survived in the ashes of before

And through your nature

Can be built once more

On our new foundations
