How I loved her and still do
But I was young and stupid
She showed her love
I showed mine
I thought all was fine
Somewhere I missed something
I buried myself in my work
I loved her
She knew that
But in trying to build a life for us
I failed to build a life with us
As time went on
We grew further apart
Though we still loved each other in our hearts
Something had changed
Somewhere down the line
I think we stopped liking each other
When one day she told me she was leaving
It was no surprise
She left
Now I am alone

A tale told out of time. People subtly change without adjusting. Excellent!
Thank you
I find this incredibly sad because you were trying to build a life for you both, sometimes miscommunication can change the path of life, such a shame, I know how hard it is to struggle to keep together through thick and thin, I've done it with my husband, now we are in our late 40's and everything is so much easier, if two people can stay the course it's a special special bond, so many cannot, this is true for so many. You pulled at my heart strings with this, may you find someone special one day soon. 🌹
Thank you
Sad but can be looked at as a new start. Looking back leads one to trip. Nicely done
Thank you
I know this lament all too well. Nicely done.
Thank you
Building a life "for us" and not "with us", that seems subtle but is very significant!
Thank you
