Broken Goodbye

You had me at hello...
and I lost you at goodbye.
My lover, my friend,
... now what?

I tried to ask but
you were too far away,
lost in life
to offer me mine back.

I wondered
amidst the chaos of morning meetings
and weekday keys...
how we got here.

From hearing each other's hearts amidst street lights
to holding on to
silence one refused to break.

And here we are.
A call under the night's starry gaze.
Everything is broken,
now what?
