Never Forever

I thought we were in love
so I stayed.

I couldn’t see anything but forever
you and me together.

We were fading fast
a relationship past its expiration.

I didn’t see the signs
that the planets and stars weren’t aligned.

I tried to save us from failing
a soldier fighting alone.

You didn’t seem to care
a one-sided battle was unfair.

I knew we were over
but I didn’t know how to leave.
