"Do you think it had to come to this?"
" I think it was inevitable."
Silence engulfed the room that was once filled with laughter. There was a time that these four corners housed a pair of, what their friends would now say, star-crossed lovers. A soft melody would play in the background as they laid on the sofa sharing a blanket, their legs entangled; her head would be laying on his chest and he would hum as she read a passage from their favourite book.
"Did we do anything wrong?"
"No, we did everything right. Some people are just not meant to be together"
Their distance, though only a few feet apart in reality, felt like miles. They're physically there, in the living room that usually radiates a warmth even in the night. But now only a cold breeze blows, circulating the dimly lit living room.
Physically they're there, yes. But the minds that once knew what eachother thought, knew how to handle each other's anger, knew each other's comfort... Oh who are we kidding? They were each other's comfort.
"You once called me forever...you must have had a change of heart"
The minds that once knew of love now only know that they no longer know eachother. The person in front of them; the one they shared their meals, their sleepless nights, their painful cries, their happiest tales, their home, their lives, their love— they no longer recognize.
It's crazy isn't it? How one day you just wake up and suddenly you don't love them anymore.
It's crazy isn't it? How it's not as simple as waking up one day and not loving them anymore. You wake up each day, seeing the changes, alterations of your mind and theirs.
Is it good change or is it bad? What prompted these alterations? Does it make you better? How is it affecting them? Is it affecting you? Does it even matter? Do you even matter?
The eyes that meet you every morning don't radiate the same warmth. Are they even the same eyes?
Of course they are, they should be...right?
In front of you is the same person you've been with for the past years, but something is different...
The tiny tweaks now present themself in whole. In front of you now is no longer them, no longer the person you've loved.
Staring into their eyes you search for something; you search for the warmth and the comfort but there's no trace of it, only a cold, cold gaze from an emotionless face.
The soul you have loved for the past years is no longer there; and you'll dream each night of the version of them that you once had, but now had lost.
