I think I lied to you.                lied to myself. I said I "used to"    because it is my wish.                         but not true yet.    Every time you sing,                                            I doubt the "used to" that I claim.    Every time you give me that playful smile                                            I flutter and the "used to" fades.                             I forget that I "used to".            Past not present tense. I build a wall            with bricks and mortar                                        created from "used to". Meant to protect me                     from your love for me, as a friend.            for her, as more. I want to "used to"             but I forget that I "used to" and I start to,          all over again.

"Used To"
I think I lied to you.                lied to myself. I said I "used to"    because it is my wish.                         but not true yet.    Every time you sing,                                            I doubt the "used to" that I claim.    Every time you give me that playful smile                                            I flutter and the "used to" fades.                             I forget that I "used to".            Past not present tense. I build a wall            with bricks and mortar                                        created from "used to". Meant to protect me                     from your love for me, as a friend.            for her, as more. I want to "used to"             but I forget that I "used to" and I start to,          all over again.
