Fade Away

you fade away: don't call or text
a friendship of convenience
what works for you
not planned with me
just another wait and see

I got off at the last stop
didn't come unglued or blow my top
just slipped away into your past
you'll see the signs if you look back

don't worry 'bout me, I'll be fine
just like every other time
you can't mend this time what's broke
I thought you cared--a foolish joke
