It usually begins slow
till you start talking everyday
the early morning messages
and phone calls for hours
you become friends first
then you start thinking of what should come next
I becomes “we” and “us”
and you can’t help but feel that maybe this is it; love
you’re happy
and you think you’re in love
but along the line
something happens
that you can’t explain
the calls stop
and sometimes a week goes by
without hearing from each other
and just like that
you become strangers
and life goes on
until another one comes your way.
Can you relate? Did you ever try to figure out what happened?
