Here we stand,
awkward, eyes averted
once close
now distant,
pseudo strangers.
Feet a shuffle,
eyes glancing to and fro
words a coming in bits
and pieces.
As we struggle to complete
our sentences.
Displacement of fluids
resulting in stoppages
as we make an amicable
decision.
Relief rolls off our shoulders
as we go on our separate lives
Impressioned but not distant.
