The Last Line Crossed

In the absence of desire
    and unwillingness to care,
The boredom overpowers
    the love caught unaware.
Making grass somehow seem greener
    past the lines we shouldn't cross,
Taking all you have for granted
    before it's ever lost.
But once you've crossed on over
    and you realize you're wrong,
You find yourself daydreaming 
    past the lines where you belong.
