Ruined

I ruined the picture of you 
I created in my mind

Unplugged the vacuum 
That held the me and you that were in love 

Because when I call you 
You don't answer as fast

And when you say my name
 it sounds different 

And it will be easier to let you go than the others
Because I've had so much practice 

But I don't want to give up on us
