You gazed out the window and didn't see me seeing you out of the corner my eye. I watched - I waited - for something about this to strike you: my hand on your hand, the diamond sky, the song on the radio... But if anything about this was moving, it was lost on you. You stared blankly at nothing in my general direction, and I stirred my coffee, too proud to point out that it was our song. Nights like these leave me longing for anything but the inbetween. Moments go unnoticed. Romantic gestures become polite routine. Suggestive glances replaced by rolling eyes. I want us back. 365 miles from where we started. 365 steps to an unemotional existence. 365 reasons why you brush off my hand to check your watch. |

Hi Kandi... This is so sad. And to me it's even sadder that there are people who feel like this all the time. Bec "I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell"~ Matchbox 20 |

Life becomes routine and we take for granted the ones we love.Only when that loved one is no more we notice how we miss the touch, the kiss,the passion, the comfort of their voice, and so many more feelings.Or we wait to long to voice our feelings and we become numb to each other.Before love is completely lost say," I LOVE YOU," loud and clear with a great big hug and kiss.
