Your Face Had No Recognition

So the problem was that I wanted you.
I wanted all of you; for myself & only me.
I got what I wanted & I had never been so happy in such a long time.
You loved me and I could tell.
It was perfect; You were perfect
But then something changed & it almost felt like being with you meant to be temporary.

The sun had set & the ocean grew cold.
The air was still & the leaves turned an odd shade of brown.
It wasn't right anymore; too much was different 
& I didn't know how to breathe.
I was afraid that this chapter of the book  was meant to be a prologue,
for it was much too short to be a story.

I searched for a better ending but it was nowhere to be found.
The sparks in your eyes burnt out; you weren't the same anymore.
I was unaware of this heart wrenching transition & it killed me.
Does your heart still beat out of your chest at the sight of these eyes?
I doubt it & I wish I didn't;
I wish i couldn't.
We force ourselves to feel 
but even that runs its course & then finishes.

So lets stop this car, get out & take our walks.
We've been driving on this unpaved road for too long.
Its about time we make it easier & stretch our legs.
