The Chase
She runs to catch up, he leads the way,                                                                                                                                                                                  I'm sure that their love has seen better days                                                                                                                                                                                                    It's probable that they'd always held hands                                                                                                                                                                               while she made sure he felt like the   man                                                                                                                                                                                                   He'd hold the door open as she walked   in,                                                                                                                                                                                                          now he runs ahead & she's left chasing   him                                                                                                                                                                                        They both sit at the diner with nothing to say,                                                                                                                                                                                    he reads the dinner menu as she looks away                                                                                                                                                                                                          What ever happened to how was your day?                                                                                                                                                          The golden couple is now a dull   gray                                                                                                                                                                        They eat in silence & when they are through,                                                                                                                                                                          he pays the bills without any cues                                                                                                                                                                                      They leave the same way they walked in,                                                                                                                                                                                                    he runs ahead & she is chasing him                                                                                                                                                                        Whatever happened to make them this way?                                                                                                                                                                      A couple with nothing left to say
As couples age, they stay even after they no longer enjoy each other's company. It's sad & every time I see it I wonder what's she chasing after, more misery ?
