Streaks of Us

Trying to move on

From what was

From what cannot be anymore

It's hard for me

Is it hard for you?

Looking back

Into the past

Seeing us 

Seeing what we were

And then what we are now

Barely friends

Barely talking

Dry conversations that lead to knowhere

And leaving eachother on delivered for hours

I saw it all

Did you see it?

The signs

Streaked throughout our complicated history

Streaks of a love never spoken of

Streaks of feelings that never seem to go away

Streaks of our childhood

Spent together making brownies in my kitchen

And playing retro video games on your living room floor

Playing pingpong until midnight in your basement

And going on walks along the train tracks by my old house

Streaks of us

That haven't seemed to fade away yet

Streaks of us that will never fade away

From our past

From our memories

No matter how hard you scrub 

No matter how hard you try to blot it out

With new girlfriends and school

With people that aren't me

With people who will never be me

Because

There's just some history that will never be forgotten.

This poem is about it being hard to move on and forget everything when that person was your entire world.
