Where did love go?

When you are young you have a dream,
Of how love should seem,
All clouds and castles in your head,
Then reality hits you instead.

Then love comes along,
Just like they sing it in the songs,
For years you sail on through,
Doing all the things you do .

You awaken one day,
Feeling sad and full of dismay,
The sparkle of life has gone,
You become more and more withdrawn.

You finally get the courage to tell,
Life isn't going that well,
He agrees he saw it to,
So what should the both of you do?

We should go our separate ways,
Think we should call it a day,
We did this and moved ahead,
Now we are just good friends instead.
