Conversations With You

​

The most adult conversation 
You and I ever had 
Was while you were laying on the floor 
While I laid in our bed 
You looked up and laughed 
Said you couldn’t take me seriously 
Because I slid over the side 
So we could talk eye to eye

The love was still there 
But admiration took a turn 
When our lives became too much 
And turned into two halves 
Of a different whole 
It wasn’t that long ago, 
But something came in between 
Call it sorrow or nightmares 
Or something else entirely

In unison we sighed 
With a realization we couldn’t hide 
Finally it reared its head 
The answer that had been left unsaid 
Maybe it was time 
To stop fighting what was clear 
In difference we should stay 
But maybe it was better off that way 

Because love was still there 
It was admiration that took a turn 
When our lives became too different 
And spiraled into two 
We were no longer each-others halves 
Just a half of another whole 
It wasn’t too long ago 
When something came between 
Our love and our safety 
Or something else entirely

The most adult conversation 
You and I have ever had 
Was you laying on the floor

My arms crossed 
on the side of the bed 
You looked up at me and laughed 
As you explained how weird we were 
When we were once bound 
And now laughing about being no more 
Than friends who used to be lovers 
At midnight on the bedroom floor
