And so it was we came to be
In a manner so unusually
Drawn together through the game
Hearts together in a frame
And so it was we came to know
The seeds of love beginning to grow
Thriving through an unyielding screen
A storybook love seldom seen
And so it was we came to share
Emotional, physical, and mental fare
Spent years, months, and endless hours
Secret room painted sunflowers
And so it was we came to feel
Thorns of reality ever so real
Words and intent began to misfire
Emotions hazy through the mire
And so it was we came to fear
Self protective behavior became clear
The walls had now begun to grow
Attempting to strangle our love's flow
And so it was we tried to heal
The guise of friendship, and deny what was real
Repressed expression and filtered voice
Pretending to be content and rejoice
And so it brings us to today
A celebration of love's brutal ways
A vow to love and then to part
Your name imprinted on my heart
And so it was we said goodbye
Not holding back the tears we cry
A promise kept to fade away
A lie to you I will convey
#love of a lifetime
