You're the mind, I'm the heart.

When I thought you were mine and I was yours,
That day I think everything fell apart,

Like those leaves on trees, fall when of age,
Our love too, reached the edges of maturity,
You and I, no matter how hard we tried,
Could not fill the gaps left behind.

Of late we realised,

It is not the efforts or the time,

It is just that together we didn't feel alive,

That spark which started the fire,

Soon became dim and took away the oxygen.

A bond we thought would last forever,

Was lost somewhere in the middle of misunderstandings,

We fought a lot and longed for peace,

When peace was achieved,

We realised we were no more together.

Chaos was life with and without you before,

But what felt nice was your trust in me,

The way we respected each other,

And how we managed to be together,

Last nail in the coffin was the breaking of that trust and respect,

Last we smiled together was long forgotten,

Started off well and lasted shorter than a day,

That is how we thought our love will stay strong always,

Now bounded by children,

Still we struggle everyday,

Wish we would have parted ways and not surrendered to our lust,

Our kids see the storms of our fights everyday,

You and I are fire and water,

There's no place for us to be together,

With egos skyrocketing,

How could we stand each other that way?

This bond of marriage made us one,

But I wish they knew we were complete without each other,

You're the mind and I'm the heart,

We can never be one,

Our opinions, can never be the same.

We were never meant to agree to one another,

There's a reason why we felt different,

A reason why we were created that way,

To function in the same body but never together,

To stay connected and not tuned,

To love from a distance,

And never cross paths again.
