And Now We Strangers

And now we strangers
Greet like the indifferent
As if the memory eclipsed
To create less than mediocre.

No cheek, no grin
No glimmer of familiar
Only our wall of remorse
Building our division.

Before the distortion
Engulfed our direction
Did we not see a friendship
To last out the years?

But our story concluded
And by my part a regret
Though not of the past 
But of futures not encountered
