When I Noticed... Poem by Ashok Sethi

I think I noticed
When things started to change...

The hugs were quicker,
The phone call were shorter
And they weren't every night...

We didn't hurry to the place
Where we said we'd meet...

The 'I LOVE YOU's felt
More like a forced,
Daily routine,
And really had no meaning...

When we saw each other,
The smile weren't as bright
Or as big...

Our thoughts weren't only of each other
We seemed uninterested
We felt unloved
We had too many doubts...

I think I noticed
When things started to change...
