There is a transition between

can not live without and

could not live with,

then and now.

 

The first time is before

the break

and the next time

is the aftermath of it all.

 

There are only ever

two massive shifts

and then the love dies,

which is to say the passion

goes away but it can still

play on your heart strings

and beat you up on lonely nights.

 

But,

It no longer owns you.
