I breath deeply, the clock is ticking
It’s been hours, but nothing’s changed
“What’s happened to us?” You ask
But I won’t answer, because deep down I think I know
We used to laugh,
It never took us this long to get over whatever little argument
And just when I think we are finished you find some other reason to stay mad
I throw a lamp. I didn’t really mean to, I just did
You stare at me and ask again, louder
“I don’t know” my voice begins to crack because I really do know
You try to kiss me, but I push you away
I remind you of that stupid thing you did last month
You remind me of that phone call I forgot to make
It never stops. It’s no longer enough
We are no longer enough
Your green eyes start to water
I can see that you know as well
This time I ask you
“You don’t love me anymore” you whisper
I run to hug you, because I don’t want to believe it
“I think you don’t love me,” I sob.
You grab me tighter. I can’t breath
And just like that it’s time to let go.
I apologize for the lamp.
We promise to stay friends
But it hurts too much to loose love like that
So we move on, and go our separate ways.
One day I’ll see you, with the life you deserve
I’ll be able to smile and say
“I loved him once”, and I’ll know it was okay to let go.
