Your lips no longer
sing sweet words of our future
that tempted me so.

Your hands no longer
hold the power to make me
melt with their caress

Your eyes no longer
swallow me in their depth the
way they did before

I can finally
sleep without dreaming of you
and me together.

I have actually not been in a relationship like this, but the inspiration came from past crushes that I've gotten over.
