It
took you
way too long
to trust me when
I was already
all wound up in this love.
Your willingness to provide
me with security, comfort,
and peace appeared incredibly late.
Now, all you’re doing is playing catch-up.
Now, all I’m doing – losing interest.
The flame, once bright, shines so much less now.
The feelings of desire have peaked.
Thinking about our future.
Where do we go from here?
Turning away now.
Letting go now.
Goodbye then.
It’s too
late.

I do like the way that you have set this out, sadly the sentiments expressed are too often a mirror of what can happen to a relationship π

Thank you, Akhila! Yes, many pieces will reflect either some personal experience of mine or others, and from them I learn a lesson. π
