Sarah Caballero Poet I do not know?

The Perfect

“How are you?”, he says
“I’m fine”, she replies
“I haven’t heard from you”
“I know,  I haven’t had time”

Once inseparable
With nothing in the way 
Always and forever 
Is the promise they once made.

He looks at her 
And sees her pain.
She looks at him 
And feels his grief.

It wasn’t supposed to end this way.
They knew they were meant to be.
So then why did it happen,
Why did they just split?

He says it was family,
She says it was life;
But deep down they both know
Their decision wasn’t right.

Now they try to be friends
But it all seems so weird.
He loves her more than ever, 
And she loves him still.

He denies his feelings, 
She hides hers;
But through the cracks 
Will be an open door.

Three simple words 
Is all one needs to say 
To make the other come back 
And make yesterday today.

They were the perfect couple 
With timeless love in their hands
But they  became the perfect split 
When forever disappeared in the mist.
