The Cycle

"Hi, what's your name?"
.  .  .
A new face, a new opportunity.
.  .  .
"You're my best friend."
.  .  .
Two souls bound in companionship and unity.
.  .  .
"I love you."
.  .  .
Their hearts intertwined, full of infatuation.
.  .  .
"We'll be together forever."
.  .  .
Neither of them could possibly fall for temptation.
.  .  .
"I'll never let that happen to us."
.  .  .
Solid as a rock, surely not wavering.
.  .  .
"You will always have a special place in my heart."
.  .  .
All the good times, worthy of savoring.
.  .  .
"I'll never forget you."
.  .  .
Fragile words from a mind of torn synapses.
.  .  .
"Long time no see."
.  .  .
You watch the final moment; when it all collapses.
.  .  .
"Hi, what's your name?"
