Pride

They've been together for a year
And they had the kind of love that would bring u to tears
I mean.....
They would never part without saying I Love U
Or without kissing each other
Texting each other through out the day
Talking about how much they miss being together in every way

So one day
The man and his wife had a disagreement
And after all is said and done
They allowed their pride, and tension to grow so thick
They went to bed upset
With their backs turned away each other
Trying so hard not to utter a word or touch one another

Hoping that things would be ok in the morning
Saying to himself

That's alright she knows that I love her
 I'll apologize tomorrow
But instead she wakes up to a morning of sorrow

Because in his sleep he died
Now ask yourself is that worth hiding behind your pride
