She has been gone for a while.
He has stayed waiting at home.
They both would rather be somewhere else.
They're living the life of a lie.
They've been this way for a while now.
Both finding happiness elsewhere.
It has taken them a long time to realize.
They're living the life of despair.
He said it has never been there.
She says it wasn't in the end.
Neither knows what to do next.
So they just keep on pretending.
Each finds happiness else where.
They come home with nothing to share.
Each day grows longer and, they realize it's dead.
Then one day it happens.
Both move on to regret.
Wishing they had never even met.
Anticipating the next step.
Everything was perfect now.
Except for their miserable lives.
Neither learned a lesson.
Both paid the price.
They met again at a party.
Years later than before.
Neither acknowledged the other.
Each conceding the other is a bore.
They both learned a valuable lesson that night.
That no lower could they fall.
Never to speak except when forced.
Just to be labeled as divorced.
