We

We were wrong

But unmistakable right

I think I know you and you I

But the truth is we were both wrong

We were liars

I only ever showed you the version of me with all my cracks filled

I kept the deep cracks of me hidden 

And I only knew you by your laughs, so your cries were unfamiliar

We only ever flew high

So high we never, not once, saw the solid ground

There was that one terrible day when we flew so high we hit the clouds

Those clouds hit us so hard we came down separately 

We lost each other.

How could two broken people ever be together?

Which one of us was supposed to put the other back together?

We were both too selfish to fix the other

I could not risk myself for you and you all the same

We each left the other

Never to see each other again

But we still see the ghost of the other

And we reminisce on our past

We were both so scared of the other that we ruined the best thing to ever happen to us

We were emotionally closed off

But now we are ever emotionally chasing the other

But sadly we will never catch each other again

But you only get one shot

And we failed.
