We Might As Well Be Strangers

Collab with Ann Marie

Where did 25 years go
since we turned the tassel
why are my nerves betraying me
is this really worth the hassle

My stomach is turning in circles
wondering where the years carried you
will the memories be good enough
to overcome the obstacles we jumped through

You used to finish my sentences
even seeming to read my mind
we were the best of friends
will our thoughts still be entwined

Today my mind played tricks on me
hoping time would change the game
here I am covered in jealousy
funny how things stay the same

Evaluating the memories stored
recalling every little detail
is it possible that nothing has changed
or has our connection gone stale

Seeing you married to that football star
takes me back to when I would pretend
nothing would hurt my rock solid ego
but those feelings come running back again

Catching sight of you from across the room
Into your wide-open arms I fly
A hug to envelop the long lost years
But something is different, I cannot deny

Something is lost in our embrace
a futile attempt at the sublime
this isn`t twelfth grade anymore
twenty five years may as well be a lifetime
