Changes

As I passed you by today
I looked at you
expecting a smile
you turned away
did not wave, nor say
hello or goodbye
as you usually do

I walked on silently
while you looked the other way
when I looked back
you were staring at me
with dislike in your eyes
they pierced me
like a thousand knives

I don’t know why
you turned away
I don’t know what
made you change so fast
I don’t know where
you got that stare
of ‘I don’t really care’

I don’t know when
I will know why
you don’t want
to be my friend
or how I can ever
touch your heart
again

I only know
I never stopped
loving you
as a friend
a confidante
a messenger or lover
I love you still…
