Loving you..

A spark that started as a simmer

A simmer that overflowed

Years of quiet thoughts and a building foundation

A structure we never knew we would eventually stand on

When the overflow came

It was a rush

Like the last 0.2 seconds of Overtime

A feeling and a partnership

Two peas in an unexpected pod

A love I never wanted to end

We had a beginning

With no idea how it would end

Hopefully it wouldn’t

Like a game of chess

The possibilities are practically endless

You moved and I moved

I slid and you were right there

The flow of our love never seemed to quit

This is the abundance that people speak of

I knew it

I felt it

Then we lost it

Just as quick as it came, it left

That flow started to slow

Before it stopped completely

I was left alone more times than I can count

My reliable shoulder

No longer held the comfort

I found myself here

In single player mode

Realization dawned

Even in endless possibilities

There is still an end

Sure, there are a million ways to get there

But get there we must

The time clock timed out faster than I expected

I thought we had the winning dream

When the clock ran out

Loving you… turned out to be a losing game.
