A girl cries herself to sleep.
Her thoughts weren't in the right place.
Her love,
Her best friend,
Her wonderful companion.
Where had the relationship gone?
One minute she's in love,
Then she's doubting herself.
Where had the love gone?
Had it changed?
Was it not meant to be?

A moment is all it took
For her relationship to crumble.
A moment of doubt
That he had shared.
Eleven months-
That's how long it had been
Yet it took one minute
To bring it crashing down.

She seeks comfort from her friend,
Knowing she'll be there.
After all
She's always been there.
I anchor her
Knowing the root of her sadness.
I keep her talking so nothing happens
So she stays calm and sane
Her relationship is gone,
But I don't think the friendship is,
After all,
All that time spent together
Forged a bond
If not one of love,
Then one of friendship.

It's sad
How everything can change in a moment.
One minute
Sixty seconds.
That's all it takes
For a life to change.
So much can happen
Most times,
It can be the most unexpected.
