I saw you at first at the edge of the street, 
nothing to watch but hundreds of feet, 
Eyes met on the corner - the cliche secure, 
and somehow it worked and I wasn’t ignored, 
You loved me and I loved you, 
If that’s how it starts then what else could we do? 
The journey was short and the ending so quaint - 
a classical story with no sign of taint, 
We bounded along with a path we both knew - 
never looked back, never saw the review, 
You loved me and I loved you, 
If that’s how it starts then what else could we do?
So it goes on - we went along - 
the stroll through life with you at my side, 
For ten more years now we made those plans - 
but I got bored with the matter in hand,
Peaceful weeks passed and I liked it - 
sofa, TV - delighted! 
If I knew what was the next step for me 
I’d have gone in dignity, 
You loved me and I loved you, 
If that’s how it starts then what else could we do? 
Familiarity bleeds contempt, 
previously I didn’t know what that meant, 
But now I see where it went wrong - 
it just went on too long 
You loved me before and I loved you, 
but now I need something else to do,
It was the time that passed that ruined what we had, 
I couldn’t take much more, I began to the floor, 
I just was bored of this - something I had missed, 
It was the time to end, we could just be friends,
So I walked out the door - I pretended I’d done it before, 
We’ll never see me again - this is really the end! 
This is really the end! 
My friend, the end!
