If by chance 
Minutes turn into hours and
Days turn into nights and
I no longer fill your thoughts 
With what once made you feel so alive... 

If by chance 
Choosing to conceal
Yourself from me became routine
And you no longer see yourself in me
Just please say so, so that I to, can learn to let go.

Nice poetic flow .. we are all twigs in the proverbial currents of life... sometimes difficult to change course!

This Is Very Stirring, Beautiful Madelin ~ We Living In A World Where True As Lasting Love, Seems So Rare; Ever In Search Of It's Holy Grail, So To Speak ~ When There Is Little In Life And Countless Hearts That They Know; Losing A Love At Any Turn No Matter It's Depth; Can Become Devastating Unto Their Priceless Baby's....Thus A Verse Such As This Viewed Through Empathy's Eyes; Can Strike It's Chord A Touching Note....Love, Jeremy *

If by chance your eyes have strayed stop remember the vows we made that I am still the loving one who gave life to our lovely son. Great write Madelin
