how did we?

how did we go from
texting back and forth
to barely texting at all?
how did we go from
having late night calls
to no calls at all?

how did we go from
early morning calls
with tired faces
and sleepy eyes
to sleeping in,
dreaming of concepts
having nothing to do
with each other?

how did we go from
teasing each other
relentlessly,
throwing around jokes
that made us laugh
until we clutched
our stomachs
to becoming tense,
awkward, unsure
with each other?

is this how we'll
carry on?
is this what we've
become now?

because if it is,
i don't think
i'll be able to
take this pain
much longer.
