Once upon a time
we were young
and together one

time has changed us
we no longer are as before
our innocence
has all been lost

our once radiant look
is now fraught with wrinkles
our laughter has lost its shine
our words are no longer spontaneous
we fabricate them all the while
our true feelings to hide

we're afraid so very afraid
of looking at each other in the eye
it's worse than the most remote strangers'
all that we exude is a bundle of lies
