One kind of senses that something is wrong, initially
The realisation of the sentiment in some of their words is missing
One sort of senses doubt when they begin to make unexplained journeys
And some of the passion has wained in their touching and kissing
One kind of knows that their is something missing at home
When the planning stops and your conversation has no direction
One sort of senses when their style and trends are gradually changing
And they no longer pay much attention to your erection
One kind of senses that little things are different every day
The way they use a different type of humour and their catchwords are new
One sort of knows things are changing by the way they are talking
And how they very rarely have anything to say about you
One sort of knows by their underwear drawer, strangely enough
How the little gifts you gave her are very seldom worn or adorned
One sort of knows when they make stupid excuses about where they are going or have been
And when you ask harmless questions and you are quickly scorned
One kind of knows by the music they like and the books they read
Their is hidden proof that one does not really want to believe
One notices more and more by the way they react to certain things
And how when you offer help, they ask for room to breathe
One sort of knows that something has been lost from what was once
And yet still one does not have the courage to ask for and hear the confirmation
One wants to sweep it away as 'just a little phase' they are having
And not hear that one was just a part of the journey to their destination
One kind of suspects that another has infiltrated the 'covenant' of your love
And understands the possible outcome but chooses to ignore
One finally realises it when they actually open up for once
And tell you that there is 'someone else' and they don't love you the 'same' anymore
One kind of knew that this outburst was coming
And knew that they had wanted to say for a long time but they were not prepared or brave
One kind of knows when things are finally over pretty much straight away
But one is scared to give up on all the love one gave
My advice to anyone in this situation is
If you are suspicious then raise your concern
Be open and admit your frailties to them
Or live in regret with nowhere to turn
Be brave, for you have given your all
You deserve to know just out of respect
Confront your demons before it is way too late
The answer might not be, what you expect
Be strong and trust your own judgement
The realisation of your strength will inspire
Follow your suspicions through to the truth
For there is certainly no smoke without fire...
