C'est la vie

Let us go then, you and I.
Sigh, and say 'lah we', and whisper, that
we don't add up, and don't love enough
to change the numbers we are.

Mutter in mature moments
that it's nobody's fault, as we
relax friendship into
muffled memories.

Gift each other in parting:
a pair of matching saccharine smiles;
one for you, and one for me.
To wear on familiar nights.

Someone anonymous calling me wonderful means nothing. Hence neither did my response.
