I think the worst part about falling out of love with someone is realizing you're falling out of love with them.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLXUzT1FG7
You so desperately try to seek out and repair these small mistakes, but the cracks get bigger, and you begin to just step away, not caring about the small cracks or the repercussions of ignoring these small things.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IB8Wesi2G
Someone you wanted to build with is suddenly across town, your house in the middle, and you are in a completely new place, or perhaps one of you stayed in the middle of the town, stayed in the house of "us," and it is killing them watching the cracks form, the ceiling cave in, or perhaps feeling the foundation quack and shake as it begins to crumble.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R8GzP7jsA
I sit, I pace, and I keep revisiting this place. The key still fits, but reality is sinking in rather quickly. Our once-happy pictures no longer bring me bliss; instead, they are sending me into distress.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXjxEWghN3
We built this place, here in the middle of town, so all could see us build and grow. We didn't prepare for when people would watch us crumble; we prepared for people to watch us grow a family, achieve all our dreams, and live in martial bliss, but alas, time chose another plan that we did not foresee.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxUKZBvxja
In five continuous years, we built foundations, walls, windows, doors, and floors. We built it all even when you were away. I kept building us, making sure it'd be comfortable for you and we'd fit, but now it is beginning to disappear into the rearview mirror of this moving truck.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5oylCJrF1
This was not the plan, but we both moved out—new houses, new people, new memories, new lives—both on opposite sides of town, a half empty glass for each because we can no longer fill each other's cups; dull and numb is all that is left.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWo4qze4TM
Watching as the house tumbles and the earth swallows us whole, I'll give one last sorrowful glance to the plot of "us" before I step back inside to my place on the opposite end of town. Inside there lay boxes of keepsakes, memories, and items. I load them into a moving truck and move yet another distance away.194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9DHt5qTWz
The more space I put, the further you and "us" get, and the further I move, the further you'll never see me again, so I'll start over, pack up everything, move away far, and you can sit and stay in the ruble and ruins of "us," for I loved you but you ruined my life.
