Somewhere Down The Line

Walking down the country lane

Memories of you

Permeate my tired brain

As I push on through

***

The trees rustle overhead

Their canopies entwine

As our love once did

Somewhere down the line

***

Finally upon the pier

You slide into view

Smiling when you see me

And I smile right back at you…

***

…But inside I’m dying

***

You give me your everything

Without thought or questioning

You love me unconditionally

And I think that is the worst thing…

***

…I’m crying inside

***

We have been together for so long

Our love all-encompassing

Burning fierce and strong

But all things must change…

***

…At least for me

***

You run to me and hug me

And I hug you tight right back

You say you love me so damn much

And I say it to you right back…

***

…But I lie

***

At least in the way I love you

***

I love you like a sibling

Or a best friend I hold dear

But somewhere down the line

My passion disappeared

***

I tell myself I can’t tell you

For fear of hurting you

I don’t want to be the bad guy…

***

…And I hope you break up with me
