Just across the street, a stranger walks
She spares not even a glance for me
How far have we come from where we landed
There’s no trace of who she used to be
Several lifetimes ago, we called each other friends
She lead the way and I followed blind
I never would have believed back then
We would one day walk on separate sides
And how that distance seems to grow
And how difficult it becomes to see across the expanse
One still angry being refused an apology
The other angry being refused a second chance
Perhaps it seems petty now
Trite and inconsequential
But our paths have spread farther somehow
And the friendship vacant of any potential
Somehow that roadblock became a desert
And the gap increased every moment apart
All familiarity fades from the face I once recognized
Because now just making out her silhouette seems so hard
Someone is always right and someone is always wrong
But that never matters in the end
When you are walking alone and see across the street
A stranger who you once called your friend
