I had a friend once with which I shared A soft  whisper in the light and dark Of how our life's would wind on earth We built walls on ice and dreams in air And now Like a day in a delirious mind we have waned And love once was now dead I wonder sometimes if it was ever real The lies we told ourselves That we would show the world what love means Beating against the cold hands of fate Hugging even when distance rage its divisive might Loving and fearless of the inevitable parting Now I lay alone with a ghost Dreaming and longing for the bye days Those sweet days when you loved my lies When just holding me in your eyes was cool And now like a stale wine we part Apart Two lover who once was now adrift Running aside like East away from West Perhaps some other life may come When we live those dream anew Learning to kiss and cuddle again And your head may yet find my shoulder again

The Ones we lost
I had a friend once with which I shared A soft  whisper in the light and dark Of how our life's would wind on earth We built walls on ice and dreams in air And now Like a day in a delirious mind we have waned And love once was now dead I wonder sometimes if it was ever real The lies we told ourselves That we would show the world what love means Beating against the cold hands of fate Hugging even when distance rage its divisive might Loving and fearless of the inevitable parting Now I lay alone with a ghost Dreaming and longing for the bye days Those sweet days when you loved my lies When just holding me in your eyes was cool And now like a stale wine we part Apart Two lover who once was now adrift Running aside like East away from West Perhaps some other life may come When we live those dream anew Learning to kiss and cuddle again And your head may yet find my shoulder again
The beauty of life is the fact that we are a product of all that we have lost, not just the things we gathered along the ways ahead. Here's to all the exes we lost but we owed just a tiny bit of our stability of character,which of course we carried along with us to our new relationships and are the better for it.
