The you and me...

 Since this is the way it's going to be,

I'll sum it all up with poetry...

Where do I even start explaining the way I feel?

I just keep telling myself: this can't be happening, this isn't real.

In my heart it seems there is a sudden void.

You built me up, only to break me down; now everything appears destroyed.

My life's orbit has suddenly stopped- where do I go from here?

I guess this just goes to show, things aren't always as they appear.

Only now do I realize what I put up with, everything I had to endure.

Only now do I really contemplate, on what we truly were.

I'm not here to make you feel guilty, nor will I ever be.

Just know, I will always remember, the 'old' you and me.
