they were lovers

It started out as a love story
Two people building a dream together
Then it turned into being sorry
For what they couldn’t achieve

In the beginning, the honeymoon phase
They were together every day
Then months passed by
And they got farther and farther away

But there was a reason, a rhyme
Inside the chaos
A warmth they felt inside
When they laid together at night

They knew each other’s deepest
Darkest secrets, they could communicate
Only with a glance, and that was a reason
To try to stay

Then sad excuses started to blossom
Like being sick out of the blue
I'm sorry, I was too busy
Too busy to talk to you

It’s funny how these things go
One minute you have everything
Then you have nothing at all
And life seems like it’s not worth living

Sooner or later it would be over
But they were still hanging on
By a thread of hope
Like trying to walk on a slippery slope

But there was a reason, a rhyme
Inside the chaos
A warmth they felt inside
When they laid together at night

They knew each other’s deepest
Darkest secrets, and that was a reason
To try to stay
