What we once were

We were once nothing

positively nothing

2 people walking the same earth with

no concious rememberence for each other

those moments weren't our moments yet

our moments weren't memories i can't shake

at 10 am when I'm trying to sleep

We were once something

the type of thing that intertwines our lives

the same way we intertwined our hands

and our legs

and we overlapped the same way our hair did

when we layed down together

and we looked at the ceiling

and it was sweet

like the strawberry milkshakes with whipped cream

we used to share

until we didn't like the taste of them anymore.

we were once.
