Rereading

Our story is starting to become a novel
Of repetition
We only write the same words
So many times before they lose meaning
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
Suddenly it's nothing 
I feel nothing
No, wait
I am scared
You were suppose to be the ending
To my thriller
But you keep trying to tear out pages
That you no longer like
But the ink cannot be erased
And neither can my tears
Or the cracks in my heart that spell out your name in the most beautiful handwriting
But
I miss you
I miss you 
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss feeling 
And hearing the need in my voice 
For your hand to be in mine
Now I pull away
Because we've already written that chapter
And now I know how it ends
A novel can only be a best seller once
We had our fifteen minutes
Time to close the book
Can't keep rereading the happy times 
Now they lack meaning
Now they're past tense
I loved you
I missed you
But I'm writing a new book
And it's not a sequel
