When I was in high school
I dreamed of the perfect person to play jenga with
Then I found him
We carefully put every piece together to ensure that it wouldn't fall.
Once we had to start all over again
but this foundation was much stronger.
For many years we built this masterpiece
piece by piece
obstacle after obstacle.
Five years built on a solid rock.
Until one day
he asked another person to join in our legacy
As she pulled out that last middle piece that was holding the game together
our history started to crumble
piece by piece
every thing we built was shattered.
Didn't take long for him to realize that
I was the better person to play Jenga with him.
As he rapidly put the piece back together
he didn't notice that the foundation had started to fade away.
What was once our legacy
has now became a one person's game.
And I am just the viewer
wondering who is the next player to come our way.
