Silence

by Twan - Aries

Back in March we met for the first time and fell
into love, as we knew each other so well
I kissed the rose tattooed neatly on your breast
and you slept the first night with your head on my chest
I felt happy, for the first time it was meant to last
How on earth did I guess it would change so fast?

I thought we were meant to be, as I hoped that you'd never leave
We cried that last night, though I into my sleeve.
And then when I came back I rolled up in my bed
And never forgot our plans or whatever we said
And time marched and we began to drift apart
I'm bad at making phone calls, but you're still in my heart
And that will never change, and I really do care
but now we haven't seen each other in seven months. And it's not fair
We began to argue,to complain, but I stayed loyal
wrapped my mind in valentines and my libido in foil
I've tried, forgive me, since March I've been chaste
But while that hasn't been by choice, I'm not going to waste.

I started exercising. Walking. Taking my mind off you
And now we're far apart, I think I have a clue
I'm not saying we're breaking up. We're not. We won't.
And yet...I can't understand, worse, I don't. 

I love you, my plus-sized queen, and I always will
but I'm not sure what to think of this brutal pill
that I'm swallowing to make up for the fact that I
feel like it's my fault that our love might die

Goober sits on my monitor, looking down at me
a gift for my birthday that I'll always see
My family loved you, and I did too
But this baby, the Spruce Goose? That bird flew

Not that I'll let you go, you're still there
but asking you to give up your life out there isn't fair
Even as I write these words I remember that night
when you left me for a week I didn't feel right

And the stars were aligned, for a little while.
But we're going down, down, on the mile
It's...something I can't explain
But my love and affection I did not feign

Maybe you'll be happy with some other guy
But I'll always love you. About that I'm not shy.
