We both couldn't guard it,
Couldn’t protect what was precious to us,
And now we're standing here, 
With this great distance between us,
having lost what was gravely cherished,
Wondering what we did wrong,
How we got here. 

If only we had no emotions.
Maybe it's me,
Maybe it's not you.
Maybe if I felt nothing,
Maybe if I was just a machine,
You could key in the formula and 
I could react as how you would want me to.

What a tragedy it is,
To be humans,
Humans with mind, spirit and body,
with thoughts, emotions and actions.
Interlinked to each other,
yet so distinctly different.
Amidst all these differences,
we were called to guard this love of ours.
Should I be surprised that we failed?

I ask myself what I could have done differently,
Where we went wrong,
I ask myself,
If I had a time machine, would I go back in time to change anything?
Some things maybe, but so little actually.

Perhaps
Perhaps it was truly meant to be lost,
Perhaps there was nothing we could have done to save it,
Perhaps there is nothing we can do now to keep it,
Perhaps, just perhaps,
We were truly meant to lose each other.
