I watched as the way you looked at me became dull
i watched as your responses became meaningless
i watched as your touch lost feeling as if it had turned stone cold
i waited as you began answsering less and less
i watched your effort and passion fade
i noticed how the thought of me to you became a chore
i watched you fall out of love with me
i stood there
doe eyed
waiting for you to tell me you were leaving
i stayed
because even when i knew better
when i deserved better
i could not stand the thought
of letting our love slip through the cracks
a part of me had let go
while the other wanted nothing more than to stay-doe eyed
