Why Love Dies Over Time? Poem by Anamika Das

I wonder why love dies over time?
"I really care for you,
I really love you,
we have a bond of forever I feel",
It always starts like this

Then why love dies over time?
Because sometimes we don'tunderstand the difference between ego and self respect,
The difference of fighting with each other and fightingtogether without any disrespect,

We fail to understand each others needs, wants and desires many a times,
That is what makes your partner feel upset about sometimes,
We are scared to talk to each other firstand end up consulting friends first,

Others were never a part of the relationship it was just you both always,
A broken heart can be mended in many ways,
To try or not to try is in our hands,
But moving on is the new trend,
This is why love dies a very quick death.
