before

it used to be all of us

a group of close-knit friends, who'd sit together, laugh together, sometimes even cry together. 

but something changed in us, maybe we changed.

what used to be a hug in the hallway turned into a wave.

what used to be a wave in the hallway turned into a silent, judgmental glare. 

what did we do? nothing. 

what used to be tons of people at our table turned into only two people. 

me and you. 

we promise to stay good friends, but i'm unsure. 

there used to be me, you, you, and you.

but eventually it was just me and you.

and then there was two.
