After all the years, and tears, and miles,
Oceans and neverending distance,
After every up and every down,
The highest of highs and lowest of lows,
After such a beautiful love, such a deep devotion,
How did we fall, how did we fail,
My love, How did we become this?
This tension, this bitterness,
Voices of stone, hearts of ice,
Tired minds, and frustrated souls,
Seem to be all that remain.
He had the gentlest of touches,
Safety in his arms, and a promise in his eyes.
He'd whisper I love you in my ear,
As he'd prove that love,
Over and over again.
I'd shiver under his touch,
Submit to every kiss,
And hang on every word.
Best friend, lover, boyfriend, Husband,
After such a beautiful love, such a deep devotion,
How did we fall, how did we fail,
My love, How did we become This?
