Did he smell of Old Spice or Irish Spring?
Did he smoke Reds or Camels?
“I’m not too good at this sort of thing
But it’s been a road well traveled”

How has it been since he loved you then?

Did he make you breakfast every Sunday morning?
Did he play X-box in bed?
Did you stay in while the rain was pouring
He said “let’s just get takeout instead”.

How has it been since you loved him then?

Can you walk past that bar?
Do you take the backstreet?
Do you hold your head high
Or do you stare at your feet?

Do you still hear his laugh
And the ringing of bells
See the stars on the night
that you knew you both fell

Do you know the answer
Why did you fall apart?
Was it merely just timing
Or the break of a heart?

In your desperate endeavor
I hope that you find
A love that is honest
And patient
And kind
