When you realize you feel nothing
When you feel nothing, when he loves the other one.
When you feel numb at his pain
When his joy doesn’t transpire into you,
You know then.
When you are insensitive to his other women
When you stop to pretend to be happy
When you stop posting photos on Facebook
Trying to convince others all is well
When you are not afraid of gossip
Then ask yourself...
When you feel that the relationship is just a contract
Merely debit and credit
When you consider that the relationship has become
Just a piece of paper
Then ask yourself...
When you stop trying to win him back
When you two are together for benefits
When you know anger towards him has left you
And the hatred and jealousy are gone...
Then you are just roommates under the same roof.
And then, you know the love has ended
And the relationship of convenience has begun.
