They asked me how I saw it coming -
How I knew to build up my walls, to slowly let go.
You just do.
You know it's over when they forget to text you back,
When hours pass and conversations that used to take five minutes one message after the next take hours to complete.
You feel like you're running a race you cannot win.
You know it is over when you find yourself doing things to distract yourself from thinking of them because you know they aren't thinking of you.
You know it is over when their touch no longer makes your heart skip a beat,
When you know you aren't the reason behind their smile,
When they start to use "I" instead of "we"
"I need to go out"
"I can't talk today"
When you kiss them and they keep their eyes open
Complete indifference
When you ask them to go out and they say they are too tired
When silence becomes so uncomfortable you try to fill it with trivial information
"You know I cheated on you, right"
Words that never need to be spoken become said.
When there is no longer enough passion to even argue
Or pick up the phone
Or say hello.
When two people who gave each other promises of forever can pass by each other without a second glance.
That's when you know it's over.
