how long, I wonder...

how long, I wonder 

before I lose interest in you...

how long, I wonder
before you lose interest in me too...

how long I wonder,  

before I move onto someone new

how long, I wonder

 before we both remove

each other

from our two separate lives

separating

like

isolated atoms

-drifting apart-

how long before it happens?

this

losing interest

I confess, it happens often

often, I imagine...

how long, I wonder, 

how long before we do the thing 

we human-beings
must do

-part ways-

always,
it happens

how long, I wonder, how long...
