Is a Kind Word Enough?

How do you tell the woman that you love?
The woman that always fitted you like a glove
Your lover, your friend and your confident 
How do you tell her of your discontent?

How do you tell the woman for whom you care?
That you are no longer in love with her
The woman you love but no longer desire
Kind and caring but unable to light your fire

How do you tell the woman that you love?
The woman that always fitted you like a glove
Where do you begin? Where do you start?
How do you tell her and not break her heart?
