then and now

Somewhere between then and now we stopped texting
Stopped calling when something exciting happened
Stopped planning a crazy future with eachother in it 
And making plans based on your work schedule
Even though were farther apart than we ever have been before
I still miss you
I miss your smile
Your laugh
Your voice
The stupid look youd give me while i was being my goofy self
Somewhere between then and now we grew up
On separate paths
Living separate lives 
Lives that are so different from what we talked about
But i never thought it could be this way 
I never thought when something happened
Something good
Something bad
That when i picked up the phone 
You wouldnt be the one i call
Somewhere between then and now we became strangers
I no longer know where you are  in life
If your happy 
If you finally have your dream job
Or if you even still love me
I look back and smile with teary eyes
And i think to myself 
Maybe in another life
Maybe in another life we continue on in the same story
Maybe in another life we never say goodbye for the last time
But for now i hold our memories close to my heart in a spot only you have access to
And somewhere between then and now i learned to accept that you were just a chapter and maybe we will meet again
I love you
