"I loved you once. When I laid eyes on you my hands trembled, and my heart jumped. There was nothing in the world that could stop me from giving you everything. I lived to see you happy, but then you turned sour. I loved you once. The first to die were the 'hellos' and 'how are yous' they shriveled and faded. Next were the terms of affection. I was stripped of my titles of honey, sweetie, darling, even my name wasn't fit to grace your lips. I loved you once. Finally, it was the small talk and comfort that left. No longer could you stand to be in the same room with me, let alone dare hold a conversation with me. You turned angry when I spoke, driven mad when I asked how your day was. How dare I attempt to take a moment of your time. I loved you once. Now we've parted. You to new heights and I still to the ground. Not yet worthy of answers and denied all closure. Still not understanding why to my attempts of giving you the world, you've stripped me of mine. I loved you once."
