At First

At first its little things, like taking longer to eat or shower Then you notice that his commute home is taking 20 more minutes than it used to He’s calling you later and later He’s staying away from you longer and longer And when you do talk, you don’t really talk You just sit there in awkward silences

It used to be that if you even acted slightly different he knew and asked you what was wrong He didn’t let you get away with “Nothing” or “It doesn’t matter”

But, now If you’re lucky enough that he does ask, he doesn’t seem interested He seems distant and bored

He says it’s just the stress wearing him down, but you always used to be the thing that helped him through the stress

Now, you’re one of the things causing him stress
