There was a time

There was a time
when I loved you
more than I loved myself

There was a time
when the sound
of your voice
was all I needed
to smile

There was a time
when you loved me too
When the world felt young
and my own ignorance
felt like inteligence

but those feelings are gone
erased by time

I no longer need you
or want you
I no longer love you either
but I do miss you

I miss the person
I used to call my friend
I miss feeling safe in knowing
I could retreat to the touch
of your hand to my face
to make here go away
I miss loving you
but perhaps it is the person
that I fell in love with
I miss the most

The world changes and so do people
love takes on different hues
different colors
different flavors
we just didn't know how to change

fate guided me to you
and it is fate that has taken you away
I still know where to find you
how to reach you
but I leave you alone
because I lost you
a long time ago

There was a time
when I loved you
more than I loved myself

but those feelings are gone
erased by time

but I miss you.
