Rome wasn't built in a day

I'm not sure when the beginning of the end came. But I think it came like a thief in the night. It was strange, and I'm still not sure I know how to let you go. but I knew that it wouldn't be long. I knew I'd lose you. But wasn't ready for the abrupt edge. No signs no warnings. But I signed up to drop my hands when I met you. We signed on the line bound by contract for a short time only, you wrote the time frame. And I agreed that there was never going to be a need to argue when that time came. I knew this would happen. Not angry but letting myself feel the sadness and the empty. But in a few days it will pass. I do know that I'm resilient. And that was my ace up the sleeve in this case of you.
