In the beginning, our love was like a flame
Bright and fierce, burning with passion
But as time went on, distance came into play
And slowly, our love began to wane
The miles stretched between us
Like an insurmountable wall
And though we tried to bridge the gap
Our efforts seemed to always fall
The phone calls became less frequent
The messages, few and far between
And I knew deep down inside
That our love was starting to come apart at the seams
I held onto hope for as long as I could
But sometimes, love just isn't enough
And in the end, we had to admit
That our long distance love had become too tough
Long distance love, it's a tricky thing
And though ours didn't last
I'll always be grateful for the time we had
Even though it's now in the past.
-for a love that did not last
