Never Ending

There was a time

when I  thought you were mine.

Now such a thought

is only a crime.

.

Things have changed much

over the years.

Many bridges burned and

many, many tears.

It goes around and comes back again.

Now, can I even call you a friend?

We have agreed to disagree.

All we both wanted was just to be free.

Yet, we’re caught in a trap.

We keep coming back.

It seems it goes on without any end.

Remember that time

when I thought you were mine.

I was really happy

most of the time.

    

Then something changed

and the happiness went away.

You seemed to change,

then we both began to stray.

It goes around and comes back again.

Now, can I even call you a friend?

We have agreed to disagree.

All we both wanted was just to be free.

Yet, we’re caught in a trap.

We keep coming back.

It seems it goes on without any end.
