Were Words

We were there

once

on that couch

in the same place

with the same voice

spilling similar secrets

and slowly

so slowly

that we barely noticed,

we began

to say different things

at different times

and I

never wanted this

but this was now

what it was

time stolen

and replaced

as we blinked our eyes

and I never wanted this

but we were

different people now

these were new faces

and these changes

happened

and I

never wanted this

but this was what it was

and I won't fight

the truth
