And then there were two.
Two hearts, two stories.
Two lives intertwined.
Doubletime.
Two angry auras
Flushed with the blue of sadness
And the hue of love, at the edge
Out of the way
Out of reach.
And then there were two
Best friends
Most of the time
On and off
For many years
One
running back to the other
When she probably should have let her be
Until
She realized
it used to be all of us
a group of close-knit friends, who'd sit together, laugh together, sometimes even cry together.
but something changed in us, maybe we changed.
We were birds of a feather, and we stuck together
But how come it had to end?
We talked every day, revealed more of us
But two were always at war
Eventually, the war was lost, and won
The gang broke up,
Blissful children.
Young,
Naïve.
Dreaming, of who we wake up to be
Dancing with starlight in our hands
Elemelons to the end
But wishes cannot last for long
And then there were Two.
There was Nothing and there were Two and they were not in love. Love was not a thing yet, there was Nothing.
One said to the other, "I've discovered I can say words."
And then there were two,
Sitting on a bench by the bus stop.
Waiting.
Watching.
Two kids - teenagers - then young adults.
On different sides of the same story.
One representing tails
