"What is the difference between was and used to be?"
Both bears the same meaning, but one holds a deeper sense to something.
I was her lover, simply meant I had once loved her in the past.
I used to be her lover, meant I had loved her for every single moment up until the day we parted ways.
And perhaps by chance, I still do love her. I just said that to cover up my tracks, to cover my sorrows, to cover up anything that I have left and put up a strong figment of myself to society. Tricking them to think that I am not affected by the fact that a part of me died.
A facade, a make-believe persona, a character or a personality that people will be convinced that, I am fine.
I was fine.
I mean-
I used to be.
