What happened to us
We had it all. The perfect love but it went sadly wrong
What happened to us?
We used to talk till the streetlights gave up
voices running into the small hours
now I can’t find you in the silence
it’s too wide, too cold
I think of your hand on mine
how it felt like it would never let go
now it’s just the memory
holding me instead
It didn’t break with a bang
it just slipped away
like the last light in a room
nobody wants to leave
but somehow does
Your eyes don’t look for me now
they pass straight through
like I was never there
and I wonder if you see
the wreckage you left behind
Just go back to how it felt
before your affair
and I’ll pretend I don’t know
I’d give every day we’ve got left
to go back to that first night
before the distance
before the soft lies
before love turned into something
we barely recognise

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.

You have totally captured the grief that I know only too well. I liked the sentiment that sometimes relationships do just fall away despite everything that once was. Very nice, Marie.
It is sad when a seemingly wonderful relationship fails, excellent words
