Love wasn't enough

5 januari 2024

Two kids in college

Rehearsing adults

Their meeting eyes

Smiles, hands, plans

Before they could find the words

Care free adventures

Hopping through life

Collecting sunsets

Heartbeats, liquids, assets

Ready to collide

Never throw their hands up

It was ride or die

Never give in, give up

Until they hit that high

5-4-3-2-1

Blink twice

All gone

Wondering what would have

Could have

If he was the one

5-4-3-2-1

Packed up

Lost love

Wondering what would have

Could have

If she was enough

It wasn't enough

Love wasn't enough

Drafty small attic

Their first cardboard home

Turning pennies

Busting tables

To live a life that was their own

Jumping the ladder

Jumping the gun

None of their Bachelor degrees

Could foresee

What they have become

Corporate groundhog days

Made him shake his fist

While his wish for kids

Wasn't on her list

5-4-3-2-1

Blink twice

All gone

Wondering what would have

Could have

If he was the one

5-4-3-2-1

Packed up

Lost love

Wondering what would have

Could have

If she was enough

It wasn't enough

Love wasn't enough
