Once upon a life

I was sitting over there watching you

How your hair shimmers when the sun rays glow

Someone said a joke and you were laughing out loud

You have no idea how much I've missed that sound

I start to think about you, but reality puts my feet back on the ground

It was autumn ; leaves were falling and the sky was grey

But I always go back to that warm summer's day

You were singing a song, driving along the highway

& I was staring at you getting lost in your eyes that I didn't remember what I had to say

We used to make fun of those who gave their love away

We thought that ours would last and that we would never call it quits

But look at us now...all wounded up and filled with regrets

We were young and immature

To you it was teenage's love and nothing more

But for me what we had was a book with a missing chapter

We wrote down all the pages except "they lived happily ever after"

Once upon a life that was ours, we built our home out of sand; a castle &its towers

And we stayed watching it picturing our life together for hours

I was a princess and you were my lovely prince

Everything back then made perfect sense

But when things got out of hand

& we were young enough not to understand

I confessed that I didn't wanna stay,

&you didn't try to stop me saying that you wouldn't stand in my way

Because our love lost its spell and the silence wasn't comfortable like it used to be before

We lost our temper and the flames were turned into ember

, it was right then when we knew that it was hard to take anymore

I reached for you but you weren't there to catch me as I fall

When it hurt like hell but still we insisted on denying it all

Now years have passed and I see you all grown

& I secretly wonder were you much better when I was already gone?

Have you ever asked yourself what would've happened if things haven't turned this way?

Do you still remember whose fault was it when we were back in May?

But we're older now than we were before

You've turned into the fine man I knew someday you'd be

Someone mature enough to take full responsibility

You catch a glimpse of me and you look away trying to look busy

I think that your life now has no place for me

So I start to walk away again while all the flashbacks going through my brain

I tried to look fine and holding up but it was hard to fight the pain of losing you again

I was just around the corner looking for a place to go

When your voice came from behind me saying hello

My heart beats fast now, I try to hold myself in place

Because all I wanted was to jump into your sweet embrace

I calm myself down as I turn to face you

You smile at me and say : "you've no idea how much I've missed you,

I hope that you're done hesitating now because I'm planning not to hurt You

All this time the only thing that was missing was you

And I thought distance would end our love but it has only helped it grow

So tell me if you still want me now or am I too late?

If only you'd give me another shot, I promise you this time it would be great

Because once upon a life that was ours, we built our home out of sand; a castle &its towers

And we stayed watching it picturing our life together for hours

You were my lovely princess and I was your prince

Everything back then made perfect sense"
