I used to love you
Used to put no one above you
Used to think no one could love you
Like I loved you,
And then you met him.
I used to love our favorite place
Used to drink in the sound, the face
Used to enjoy how the food would taste
When we ate together,
And then he took you there.
I used to love the sky
Used to sing as we would fly
Used to laugh when planes flew by
Because we didn't need wings,
And then he took you higher.
I used to love your eyes
Used to see through your disguise
Used to marvel as both our lives
Grew as flowers towards the sun,
And then he grew taller.
I used to love a songbirds verse
Used to think death was the worst
Used to wish time would stop or reverse
So my memory of you would last,
And then I used to love you.
