It was never meant to last. You warned me that you'd trip. A relationship, like a house, cannot stand when built on a foundation of sand. Ours was sinking fast. I didn't mind the continual shoring but you didn't lift a finger. You linger, in your past mistakes while the ground around us quakes. Our ship broke loose from the mooring. Crumbled around us, it all fell. Torn apart, so I walked away on that devastating day. What good are regrets? If I were making bets I'd wager the past is where you still dwell.
