Plans

We planned to work together.
We planned to learn together.
We planned to grow together.
We planned to live together.

Now we work apart.
Now we learn apart.
Now we grow apart.
Now we live apart.

We planned a single house.
We planned a single family.
We planned a single future.
We planned a single life.

Now one house is two.
Now one family is broken.
Now one future is fractured.
Now one life is divided.

I refuse to change.
You resist change.
We want to stay the same.
Yet we have changed.

We cannot go back.
We cannot stay.
We dare not go on.
We must continue.

Our plans are spent.
Our future is done.
Our house is crumbling.
Our life is ending.

Say good night.
Say good luck.
Say good things.
Say good bye.
