When We Existed

You're a stranger to me
How long has it been
Since we last tried
To talk again?

I put everything into us
When we existed.
There wasn't anything
More that I trusted.

I should've forgotten
How I longed for our
Late-night conversations
Always lasting hours.

I used to be occupied
With just one thought:
That someday, I'd try
To get us to the next level.

You lied to me, told me
Anything you thought of
And thought you'd be
Forgiven on the spot.

We stopped talking once
And never again started
You were my best friend,
But since then, we've parted.

We went our separate ways,
Some say it's for the best
I'll always remember your face
The way it was when I admired you.

I had an image of you
That you couldn't live up to
I thought you were perfect
You never could be.

The one promise I remember
From April, 2004
Was when you promised
You would sing to me.

I listen to the song
You said you'd sing
Over and over,
I'm dwelling...

Over someone I don't know.
You had such an impact
And it ended so quickly,
I didn't have time to react.
