They had known that it was love once,

Had vowed to make it last

But now they sleep in seperate beds,

The love they'd shared's long passed .

He stood across the room from Her, watching her undress. Once he would have been

aroused by this, had taken her there and then. But, she was a different woman now. 

And even worse, She was the same.

She looked up, across at Him, looking at his eyes. Once she would have seen something, would have felt her own heart quiver. But, he was a different man now.

And even worse, He was the same.

Once, She had loved His smile, but now, She only hated His smirk. 

Once, He had loved Her pout, and now, He only hated Her scowl. 

Once, She had loved Him. Once, He had loved Her.  And they were the same people as they had been back then, and the love that they had shared had, at least once, been true. 

But once upon a time wasn't here anymore, and the happy ending had always been a lie.

Their love was doomed once it had started,

It had always been their fate,

The thing they once loved about the other,

Now brought them only hate.

He looked at Her, and She at Him, both knowing it was over, that it had been for a long time now. The love they had once was gone. 

He smiled a sad broken smile, and She smiled her own back.

"I love you," He said to Her, wanting it to be true.

"I love you," She said with Him, almost believing.

"No you don't," They both thought. "Maybe once, but not today."
