Fight

Neither one of us is brave enough
to start the conversation
all we do is stare.
Stare at the elephant,
stare at each other
Waiting for the other to start speaking
Praying that the other will
put down their pride first and
start speaking again
I wonder how long we've sat here
I have been sitting here so long
I've forgotten what we were fighting about
I miss you, our laughter, our joy
but neither of us is brave enough
To be the first one.
