We both started as know nothings. 

Not understanding-

the complexity of each one’s bubble. 

The bubble that we both resided in. 

The bubble of life.

One day, 

each of our bubbles cracked.

we started to peel it back

and step out. 

Feeling scared and bare 

as each one of us were unveiled.

Starting to tap into the swirls 

of each other’s minds. 

Learning the beauty of vulnerability. 

Understanding one another as one. 

Becoming connected by an invisible 

string that stretched for miles on end.

You showed me you, 

and in return-

I did the same.

But-

the invisible wall that we broke down 

seemed to only rip us apart.

Life in our own bubbles 

continued to push on. 

Time didn’t stop for us.

Just as we started as strangers- 

we ended as strangers.
