Breaking Up In The Nick Of Time

She certainly wasn't looking for a long-term thing
Just wanted to pass the time
With someone agreeable, pleasant to look at, maybe funny
And not too clingy

He was adverse to commitment, made him feel owned
Just wanted to pass the time
With someone good-natured, attractive, maybe sarcastic
And not too clingy

They spent at least a day each week enjoying each other
It was all charm, wit and happiness
Best foot forward, no complaints brought to the party
Sunshine everyday dressed up like Sunday on Monday

Then the day came, when both of them began to feel it
Dissipation of desire
Dissolution of yearning
Disseverance of attraction 

Like two twinkling stars at dawn
That faded away until they could not be found
From one or the other
Never a glance back for what was
