came to be

i used to know you
but then you drifted fast
came to be that we
would never last
friend to me
you look the same
though your voice
sounds familiar
the words you speak
aren’t your own
evermore foreign then
what i’d heard before
now we never cross
paths in lives we hold
closer now to stronger
hearts then ago
friend to me
gone away now
came to be that we
were farther gone then
i used to know

you
