I love you he said
and for a while I believed it
until those text stopped rolling in
and the late night phone calls ended
but we were that one in a million
that silver dollar couple
people see us in the halls
they swear that we are their goals
saying they want a relationship like ours
but all they see are the smiles and masks
they never see the pain that lies
behind these dark brown eyes
and as months go on
I can see the love drain from inside
then that one in a million couple
becomes a piracy of the real thing
we aren’t oringinal anymore
we lost touch, lost sync
and it hurts me to my core
wonder if we will ever get back to the way we were before
back when you said you loved me
and I knew it was the truth
back when you cared
and it was extraordinary
all the memories of you and me
and the moments of security
but it’s gone
and all that’s left
is an ache in my heart
and the remnants of a dream
that was the future of you and me
