When I held on,
you let go.
When I said yes,
you said no.
When I had a smile,
you had a frown.
When I was up,
you were down.
When I looked into your eyes,
you looked away.
When I asked for tomorrow,
you ended today.
When I tried so hard,
you had to quit.
When I put the puzzle together,
you wouldn't fit.
When I wanted you back,
you moved on.
When I looked for you,
you were already gone.
When I was quiet,
you wanted to shout.
When I fell in love,
you stumbled out.


The author's comments:
The boy I loved inspired me to write this. Although short, you can infer how our relationship was. When one of us wanted one thing, the other wanted something else. We loved each other deeply, but, at the time, we felt that we were suffocating. We lost ourselves and each other.

This was really cute. It was simple, but it got the point across. I liked it.
