There once was a time
  when you lived on the inside

When you pierced my veneer,
  and saw what I saw

You knew what I knew,
  and felt what I felt

Your thoughts were my thoughts,
  your words finished mine

There once was a time
  when our circles were one

Two spirit's concentric,
  our soul's overlaid

That time has now passed,
  the feelings have gone

Both circles left broken,
—with love on the run
