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.
