Together +Secret Santa Gift+

Looking up at the sky, her mind drifts
Drifts like every serious relationship she can remember having
The men, strong and handsome, passionate and steadfast
The women, sensual and lithe, curves glowing in moonlight
The love that faded into vapor, as if it were water


Looking at a picture of his perfect family
A beautiful wife, a strong teenage son, a talented young daughter
He thinks of his house, a mansion
And all of the servants at his beck and call
His heart breaks, from the sheer sense that it is all wrong


Where did I go wrong?
She asks herself, hands gripping a half-empty glass
One that has been filled and emptied, on that very night
More times than she cares to count
More times than she wants to remember


What can I do to be happy again?
He wonders, turning off the light
Laying next to his wife, who sleeps
He watches her, and wonders if she really loves him
As he knows he does not love her


He sleeps, and she drinks
Together, wondering the same thing
Together, wishing they could change their lives
Together, knowing what they have is all they will ever have

Neither remembers the happier times
The times they were together
The times that are a lifetime away from where they are now
Simply because trust was lost
And the first cracks formed on their hearts

Had they forgiven, happiness might have stayed
But the past can never be changed
They do not know what they could have had
Together
