I used to think that one day we'd tell our kids and our grandkids how we met, and how we both felt the sparks fly immediately. And people would say that we were lucky to be able to find each other. I used to know that my place in the room was next to you, but now I'm looking for an empty spot somewhere else because lately we just haven't been on the same page.
Little complications and miscommunications will always cause fall out. And there are so many things that I wish I'd told you, that I wish you'd known. But there are so many walls up now, I can't get through. Because now I'm standing alone in a crowded room, and we're not speaking. And I'm just dying to know if this silence - this fight - if it's killing you like it is me. And I don't know what to say anymore, since this twist, when it all broke down. And it sounds like our story is a tragedy now.
How'd we end up like this? I'm pulling at my clothes, looking at my phone, and you're just trying to avoid me. And now I think that I'll tell people about us, how I was just losing my mind when I saw you here, how close I was to trying to patch things up. And how you held your pride when you should've held me.
I'm scared to see how it ends because why are we even pretending anymore? I'd say that I miss you, but I don't know how to. And I know you're giving me the silent treatment, but I've never heard a silence that's so goddamn loud.
This is starting to look like a contest of who can keep their pride the longest, who can hold out more. But honestly? I liked it better when we were on the same side. It's all in your hands now, because I would lay everything down, I'd knock down these walls if you'd just apologise. Say that you'd rather love me than fight with me.
And there's just so much you wish I knew, but this tragedy's probably ending soon.
