How It Starts

This is how it starts, isn't it?
With waiting for texts that don't come as often
With wondering if I'm bothering you and
With you would even just text me hi
To Know-
So I could know that you still think about me
because it's not even been three weeks
And still I feel like you're forgetting that we
were in love.
This is how it starts isn't it?
It's happened more than I'd like to admit.
With relationships I couldn't quit
but slowly burnt out like a candle's wick
that reached its end
too soon.
This is how it starts isn't it?
I'm not ready to say goodbye
because I don't want to think about why
you're the only man who's ever made me cry
and yet
This is how it ends, isn't it?

Let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your thoughts! Be honest!

So sad and heartbreaking. I have been in a relationship for 3 years with someone who doesn't always respond to texts. He's just not a word person (and of course, my love language is words). But he makes up for it in other ways and it hasn't ended. I hope the narrator has a happy ending (or beginning).
