A Long Time to Think About What We've Done

He was the reason for her tears
and the reason for her words.
But it all ended up in flames
and she was left with the ashes.

His actions were sweet;
a hug that'd make the pain go away.
her words were passion;
a fire that'd never go out.

She got scared.
he started looking at other girls.
She didn't want to hurt again.
It ended all too quickly.

There were no more hugs
to make her feel secure.
There were no more words
to make him feel wanted.

She was just lonely,
looking for a way to forget.
He was just a jerk,
who only loved to be loved.
