looking at our relationship, things just haven't been the same lately. we haven't been fighting, but there's less laughter, less conversations, just something isn't right. is it me? i'm sure it's me, it's always me. looking down at this plate of steak and asparagus, moving stuff around on my plate, hoping you won't notice, sharing no conversation with you. normally right about now i'd be lost in your eyes, only i'm finding myself lost in my own thoughts this time. "something wrong? you've hardly touched your dinner". i quickly pick my fork back up, trying so hard to eat just a little more. "oh no, i'm fine, just not too hungry tonight". i know i'm lying to myself, and i think that lump in your throat says you know i'm lying too. but still, we drive home silently, until you finally pull over and ask me why i seem so sad lately. i sit and ponder this for a second, thoughts and memories whirling round in my head. why have i been so sad lately? well you see, when we first fell in love, i would kiss your cheek all the time and you always told me how much you loved it. but now, you just brush off my kisses, tell me to wait a second, you're just too busy right now. i think that's what's making me so sad lately, but i just don't know how to put that feeling into words. so i just sit, staring out the window, simply unable to answer you. and i think that might just be the saddest part.
