erosion

looking back, it was a storm long overdue. years of petty arguments, mistakes - some small, others not that small -, and a belief that somethings are meant to last. they might be, but not by their own design. gravity always wins. and so does erosion, regardless of the force behind it. the strongest rock is worn out by the wind and the elements, a process that might last millenia but that is as certain as the dawnbreak. and their dawnbreak was a long time ago, so long ago that they might not even remember it any more. the sun as long since gone. and all that's left are the memories, and a vague feeling of wasting time. they took it for granted, they were naïve enough to think that if they didn't touch it, it would be fine. it never is. it needed protection. it needed nourishment - love needs nourishment, needs to be fed, needs to be felt. they were oblivious to it. and slowly but steadily, the elements took their toll. now you might look back and see what you've lost and i wonder, can you see why that happened? can you understand your failure? can you learn the lesson? time will tell, the same time that ultimately was the agent of their demise.
