Once
Once I had you, completely.
I'll never know just how I lost your heart.
You were always my foundation upon which I laid to rest all of my sorrows,
All of my pain
All of my worth.
Once you kissed me, sweetly.
Your love changed me forever.
There isn't a person in this world who could ever kiss me so sweetly,
So softly,
So wholly.
Once you loved me, completely.
I'll never know love like that again.
You made me feel whole again while my world was crumbling down around me.
You were the one constant in this ever-changing world.
Your eyes,
Your smile,
Your laugh,
Will haunt me, forever.
Once we were one.
I could read your thoughts before you uttered a word.
No one will ever look at me so sweetly and with total admiration,
Complete love,
Like you did.
Once all I could think about was the three things you did wrong.
Now, all I can think about are the million things you did right.
The million little things I miss about you the most.
The way you'd twitch your nose to fix your glasses.
The way you'd cover your mouth when you'd laugh really hard.
The way you'd say "I Love You" out of the blue.
Once I had you, completely.
Now I am lost without you.
You were my ever-steady compass.
I didn't care where I was as long as I was with you.
I didn't care where we were going as long as it was with you.
Once I said I loved you.
Now and forever
I will...
