Sometimes it is hard to understand how two people can burn for each other with fierce intensity, and then in the blink of an eye the love just goes away.

How did we arrive here?

I thought our first kiss would last forever,

So how did we arrive here?

We went from parting lips to parting ways,

Speaking about our future,

To having nothing to say.

Did I stop loving you,

Or did you stop loving me,

When did we start feeling trapped,

Yearning to be free.

I thought I was giving my all,

Was my all not enough,

When did saying “I Love You” and meaning it,

Become so tough.

We used to make love all night long,

Held each other till the crack of dawn.

Speaking about love and life

Like it was the lyrics to our favorite song,

So tell me

Where

Did we

Go

Wrong.

    In my experience as the song goes “remember when we first met, and everything was still a bet, in love’s game” very nice work
