Romance Is Dead

Kick off our shoes
Skip to bed
Forget the love
Romance is dead

Skip to the good stuff
And don't ask why
It's what everyone does
Who could deny

We are but of many
Who fondle in the night
Far from each other
But in plain sight

After tonight move on
Forget we ever met
But it's so normal
So don't fret

I woke up today
Looked to my side
She was gone
That's how we abide

Haha no this is dramatical irony for me in the sense that this is the complete opposite of how I view relationships.
