How We Used To Be

As I go back,

I look through

The memories...

The fights...

The love.

And It's too much for me to take.

I find myself remembering,

All the things I tried to forget.

I find myself wondering,

What would have been.

I look back now,

And I'm reading the past.

The poem I wrote just for you.

The song you sang to me.

I wonder if she gets or gives,

Exactly what we did.

I look back now,

And remember the hour long calls.

How you'd tell me about your day,

or how much you missed me.

I wonder if you tell her that,

Just like we used to.

I look back now,

I reminisce the past.

And I remember all the things we said, 

The conversations we had.

I remember how you would always say,

"Never say goodbye...

It makes me think,

You're leaving forever."

But you knew I wasn't...

I remember how much you cared then...

And I wonder now, 

do you care for her,

Like you used to for me.

I find myself remembering, 

everything.

And when I stop and remind myself, 

You're far gone now...

I can't help but shed a tear, 

Remembering how we used to be.
