I recall going out with my friends
One day when it rained outside
Just for a while, it poured a lot
Then a light drizzle
Until nothing came
And the sun decided to come out
I stared out the window
Silence stayed still
As a smile was plastered on my lips
Until someone called my name
Grabbing my attention
I tore my gaze away from the window
And looked at them
When they asked me about you
That if we were still friends
If we still keep in touch
It was like time came to a stop
I froze and my smile faltered for a moment
I looked down at my cup of coffee
The warmth of it spreading to my hands
Memories of us rushed back to me
Seconds passed for a while
Until I finally looked back up to them
A sad smile upon my lips
I spoke so softly,
“We used to be.”
But nothing lasts forever.
