What We Were


all my thoughts
that i refuse to let out
or keep in

not to be accepted
or rejected

because

you are
what i cannot be
what we were
what i lost

when we had
twelve months of
thunder
downpours
flashes of lightning
and rainbows

a time
lost
never forgotten
kept inside
forever
changed outside

what we were

and no longer are
