That little something

That little something that was missing from our relationship all those years
was missing again last night when it ended

I'd ask where that something went, like every other couple mourning lost love,
if it wasn't for the fact that I don't think it was ever there to begin with

We were never in love
Only clinging to each other
Like scattered flotsam flung upon the rocks
Too frightened to face the waves apart

All my life I thought we were made for each other
I never spotted the flaw in the manufacture
