What Once Was, What Now Is

February 12, 2016

What once was, what now is

Lost in each other, how it should have been

Times long gone and time to ascend

We will be together, at least in the end

Burning hatred of the past now churns

Long lost love no longer does it burn

Nor shall I ever experience that bliss

For with you gone I can no longer kiss

To be happy and to be glee

Is what others wish for me

One day very soon our wishes stay true

For I can only be happy with you
