came to stay

It has been almost a year since that day you arrived. I thought it was going to be forever. I thought you came to stay. Stay here, building a new life. You have that soul deep down, the one I fell in love with. But when you came to stay your soul must have stayed away. I wanted to hold you in my arms. Your plans were different than I thought. I felt as though you kinda forgot to gather me up and bring me along. Left in the dust of what you were building. I felt I couldn’t keep up. But then it changed. Staying wasn’t part of the game. It felt more like you came to play. When the fun left you did too. The ideals of what was wanted could not be sustained. Expectations grew crooked but neither to blame when we both knew you came to stay.
