True Love Never Dies

True love never dies,
yet my heart is in mourning.
Is it because your eyes
fail to light up when you see me
or perhaps that your smile
has disappeared when you talk to me?
Our kisses have become tepid
and you no longer touch my face.
I sometimes feel as if I am standing
outside the intensive care unit
of our relationship, watching
the rhythm of its heartbeat
becoming slower and slower.
True love never dies,
and yet I am crying.

True love never dies. Love can be painful at times and cause heartache we often have to endure but true love never dies.
