Once, lifetimes ago, I had you.

The first name I thought of when had something exciting to share,

did something stupid, couldn't tell anyone, but you were there.

If there was something I wanted to explore,

or some hurt you just couldn't ignore,

we had each other to tag along and no problem stayed for too long.

We would laugh together at the world

and cry with each other when disappointments unfurled.

Life itself was a little less tragic

  and a lot more magic

because once, lifetimes ago, I had you,

seems like many lifetimes ago, I had you.

Now, strangers we are, you are no longer mine

I have accepted that this was destined

but one thought haunts me when I think of you

once, lifetimes ago, did I really have you?
