The Way We Were. I used to say I love you, While staring in your eyes, But let the truth be told now, We were accustomed to goodbyes. We found each other in darkness, We never really new why, Most of our time spent muttering, Beneath the ever changing sky. I never knew you fully, You'd never let me in, You remained a mystery, A game i'd never win. Yet I told you all of everything, My dreams, my fears, my strife, To you I was an open book, The first time in my #life. You seemed to understand me, A feeling that couldn't compare, You always knew just what to say, Or when to just be there. The hours spent together, Some of the absolute best, Our walks and conversation, We never really needed the rest. I made the worst decision, I hurt you because I couldn't repair, I was an idiot to do so, To hurt someone who cared I presume you had cared, For you never said aloud, Our relationship mainly secret, Hidden away from the crowds. I do so often wonder, What our story would have said, I think about the ups and downs, And the tears that we've both shed. I wish I'd got to know you, I wish I'd spent the time, We have our separate lives now, I know you'll never be mine. You and I, we were so close, Sadness our founding friend, Forever never spent together, It's heartbreaking how things end.
