The day contradictions succeed
in demeaning emotions,
when juxtapositions in life
makes noble thoughts
suffocate and die

Such time defines
the fall of a relationship,
lifelong bonding shattered
in a sheer moment of time

So, before such tall egos
and unwanted indifferences
turn your relationship sour,
break away from such predicaments,
and never shy away
from being the first to acknowledge
even when it is not your fault
