When Love Has Gone
Navigating Love's Ebb and Flow
Lyrics
When lovers part, time can provide
When lovers part, time can offer healing that they can gradually build upon.
A healing they can build upon
Identifying and distinguishing pain from wounded pride during a separation.
Discerning pain from injured pride
Recognizing emotional hurt and pride that may accompany a sense that all love is lost.
When it seems all love is gone
Expressing the feeling that love has vanished completely.
She says, she loves him like a brother

He knows he ain't done nothing wrong

She's just fallen for another
The woman has developed romantic feelings for someone else, leading the man to feel that all love has disappeared.
To him it seems, all love is gone

That this could come between you and I
The realization that external factors, represented by "this," have come between the speaker and their partner.

From cold hands hot resentment feeds

And I see it on my TV screen
Reiterating the speaker's observation of a similar situation on TV, causing emotional discomfort.
It makes me wince and cry

That this could come between you and I

Reason's anger's casualty

Dark despair may follow on

Hearts as cold as charity
