You used to look at me like that

Not too long ago

The way you look at her makes me crumble to nothing inside

You stare at her like she is everything

With your dreamy blue eyes

You study her like a teenage girl studies her reflection in the mirror

What happened to us?

I ask myself everyday

I just don't know

You don't talk to me any more

You don't look at me any more

You don't even try and make me laugh like you always did

I looked over in class to see you and that day I saw a tear run down your cheek

As I looked closer there was a picture in your hand

I then realized it had been there the whole time

You look different today I thought

I smiled at you and for the first time in months you smiled back

You cracked a joke and of course I laughed

The girl next to me gave me a strange look

What are you laughing at she asked

I replied with your name

Her look grew stranger as she repeated your name

She then told me, you died last June

At that moment I realized you weren't staring at someone else

You were staring at your best friend

The girl you spent your life with

The girl you loved

You were staring at the girl in the picture

Me

You look different today I screamed

So do you, you mouthed

That was the last time I saw the real you

After that day I only saw you trapped

Behind glass

A mirror

I saw you everytime I looked at my reflection

But it wasn't the real you

Just your face

I couldn't look in the mirror without shedding tears

Years later I heard your voice once again

You look different today

I knew everything would be okay

I knew I could be with you

The real you

Who stares at me for hours and never lets me go

But it would never be

For you were the boy in the mirror and i became the girl in the picture

Both

Trapped
