We've seen it

Mr & Ms

We've seen the writing on the wall in almost every relationship. 

It was that gut feeling, that innate sense people can never really explain, we just feel it. 

That something that told us to stop, or keep going. 

Don’t text back. 

Keep your distance. 

He or she doesn’t mean this, or maybe they do. 

They mean it, so be careful. 

Like some love struck, 

We’ve predicted the outcome at every start. 

Sometimes, we ignored that voice. 

It was this morbid talent, 

strangely contrasted with our dreamy romanticism. 

How badly we just wanted to love someone forever, 

and believe me, 

I would. 

I would love forever in a moment,

but forever always had an expiration date. 

So whenever the foundation came crumbling apart,

I’d remember what I ignored. 

That siren warning song, 

and I couldn’t even be mad.
