Pictures of what it used to be

We used to tour the whole mall
Walk our dogs side by side
Talk all day on the phone
But we let these things slide

Our distance between us
Grew longer each day
For the silliest reasons
Like what we didn't mean to say

Look at us now,
Torn apart by fights
Letting wants get between us
Like a long, blackened night

If only we'd know
That this would happen
Our friendship is now weak
Like a balloon that is flattened

If I could go back
I'd change one detail
I'd look at life differently
To always write an email

I'd try to keep in touch
As often as I could
I'd bring you soup if you were sick
Only now if I could
