We Don't Talk Anymore

We used to talk everyday

It seems like only yesterday

When I saw you for the first time

I felt like I can have you for my lifetime.

I thought you will be by my side 

But I knew my heart lied

I thought of you only as a friend

And we will fully blend.

I never thought of you more than a friend

And never will

But you were the first one so close

That I could never myself compose.

We exchanged numbers

And in no time became friends

Till today we chat over the phone

Felt I was no longer alone ...

But one thing I always disliked

Was you were a sort of selfish

You talked to me only when you were bored

It was always on the record.

Again it was always me the first one to text

You were the next

And for your calls, I waited and waited

For which I felt humiliated.

Repeating the same mistake

Was like tasting the same cake

But of different flavour

Whose outcome was always bitter.

I still think of you only as a friend

With whom I can fully blend

But the truth is everything has changed

Which cannot be rearranged.

The fact is we don't talk anymore like before

And I don't want to be the first one to text

Because I do have some self-respect

Which I have to protect.
