I knew it was over
I knew it was over when I started waiting more,
Talking to me became to you just like a mundane chore.
I knew it was over when your texts got shortened,
Our fights became usual, and I kept feeling frightened.
I knew it was over when you found another choice,
How happily you told me about his compliments twice.
I knew it was over when you started getting distant,
I tried holding on the rope, but resistance was resistant.
I knew it was over when you began to disappear,
The moment I feared was suddenly near.
I knew it when reassurances fell flat at times,
Hollow words, redundant phrases, and overused rhymes.
I knew you were gone, even when you were very near,
Presence means nothing without love, without care.
I knew it was over when your eyes lost their spark,
The distance kept on growing, leaving its mark.
I knew it when with you, I felt so alone,
I had said you Goodbye long before you were gone.
