I knew it was over

I knew it was over when I started waiting more, Talking to me became to you just like a mundane chore. I knew it was over when your texts got shortened, Our fights became usual, and I kept feeling frightened. I knew it was over when you found another choice, How happily you told me about his compliments twice. I knew it was over when you started getting distant, I tried holding on the rope, but resistance was resistant. I knew it was over when you began to disappear, The moment I feared was suddenly near. I knew it when reassurances fell flat at times, Hollow words, redundant phrases, and overused rhymes. I knew you were gone, even when you were very near, Presence means nothing without love, without care. I knew it was over when your eyes lost their spark, The distance kept on growing, leaving its mark. I knew it when with you, I felt so alone, I had said you Goodbye long before you were gone.
