Circumstantial

Photo by Breno Cardoso

Our friendship slipped through our shaky fingers,

And we did not even try to chase it down.

I wish I could name the people I miss,

But I know that I cannot fix your frown.

Our deepest bonds became circumstantial,

Your lips told me that I had lost the fight.

I wish I could throw in just one more sentence,

I wish I could tell you that you were right.
