its all history

i wrote my favorite lyrics to one of your favorite songs and you illustrated them and passed it back to me, drawing the story of how hard we tried. and you and i would never try at all. instead we’d just float. just exist. near each other sometimes. and we were only supposed to be friends and i came about learning that the hard way. because we never tried at all. and i never tried at all. and you never tried at all. we only tried to push each other away. and we succeeded. you’re so gone now, i don’t even remember your face. but what about that photograph you say and i say nothing. because you didn’t say a thing. maybe this was all just in my head and you were never real all along.
