It was when we moved to the City
That it began – the leaving of my heart from yours
It was when I found my own course
That it seemed away from you I ran without pity
It was when I started succeeding
That you began to lose your way
It was when “I love you” became harder to say
That for a separation was my pleading
It was when your stress was so high
That you looked at them, those two-dimensional women
It was when you would ask me to dress more feminine
That every piece of my heart and soul would cry
It was when I realized the laughter between us had died
That there was nothing to be saved
It was when our attempts to “fix” it became depraved
That I learned we both to each other had lied
It was when the lies became too much
That I knew it was time to give up
It was when there was nothing left to take from our cup
That I could no longer bear your touch
It was when our simple conversations turned into arguments
That the yelling and slamming was only the tip of my anger
It was when we both began at each other to point a finger
That it was time to end the torments
It was when I cheated on you
That you felt the intensity
It was when all was lost in our beauty
That you finally knew
We were not meant to be…
