She fell out of love with me.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not long after she had to stay at home.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lockdown<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We split up far too long before any newsy talk of being husband and wife.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I met her not long before <\/span>our<\/span> troubles.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not long enough for her to be the Dean to my Sal.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today I wonder if she\u2019ll take me back<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

and we will make castles out of our affection.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pray, <\/span>pray<\/span> again and again<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Something gives.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes even true love fails to make the distance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No word left to write.<\/span><\/p>\n
