I called it
so was I the winner
I saw the bridge first
so way ahead of her
and our lives they melded
and intertwined
coming together
a little at a time
and we lived
and we laughed
and we share
so much, so very much
and as time went by
our love, it grew
into the biggest love
that I ever knew
and the day came
why came that day
she seemed to take
some love away
like an iceberg melting
in a tropical sea
little by little
she took her love from me
and I cried
and I protested
because I could see
less and less time and love for me
if this trend did continue
I knew would come the day
that her last bit of love
would be taken away
at the rate this was happening
I knew it would not be long
and how was I going to
right this wrong
did I just get tired
did I just get lazy
did I just get old
or did I just go crazy
so now I have seen
the love fade away
just like I saw it coming
from day to day to day
so, I called it
I saw the bridge first
did that make me the winner
or have I been cursed.
yes I called it
I win the game
but I lost the love of my life
I lost my best friend
I lost my soul mate
and I lost my everything
life, why do you give
happiness, love
joy and laughter
a place we want to be
then pull the rug from under
and bring us to our knees
something I will never know
something I will never understand
