The other day I saw this couple
who reminded me of who we
used to be. Care free of the real
world and blind to the fact that
love isn’t the end all be all that
we’re grown to believe. It was
clear as day, the countdown to
their very own doomsday. The
day they’ll realize that there’s
more than goodnight kisses and
shared stares into a sunset. Part of
me hopes I’m wrong about these
two, that they’ll always look at
each other the way we use to.
The other part knows too much
as it drowned long ago in a
river of cynicism.

Not all of us fall into doomsday as we age. I have seen it happen, but in ours, we are still as much in love as we were back then. Your poem speaks to the pain that many do suffer.

I think that at a certain point a couple knows whether or not they’ll last based on their shared goals in life. This fictitious couple is passionate except they lack the desire to calibrate into each others big picture. It happens to the best of us unfortunately, we get so entangled in the moment that we forget about the ingredients we seek.
