WE WERE SOMETHING

WE WERE SOMETHING

(Inspired by the 1 by T Swift)

I'm doing good-

And it's been new

Nothing to damp my mood

And but it's good to remember you

I thought I saw you

In that bus stop like a ghost

It wasn't really you

Flashbacks are the most

Hitting the ground

Spending the nights running

With you no longer around

And it's been the most healing

I now say it's alright

We both bled to grow

And it's quite the sight

Now I came to know

Greatest loves are over

For it was all too late

They lost the other -

And couldn't change their fate

Greatest films left unmade,

Never meant to be seen

Like scenes left to fade -

Of what it could've been

But I also wonder -

We were something

A thought to ponder -

What if you were my ending?

Forgotten memories

That would've been fun

Unsolved mysteries

If you could've been the one

I once had this dream

That you're doing cool

I awoke in a silent scream

And tossing pennies in the pool

We were something

Don't you think so?

But yet became nothing

For we let each other go

Now I can only resist

This burning temptation

That seems to persist

Asking you this question,

If one thing have been different-

If we chose to stay,

And change one moment -

Would everything be different today?

We were something

If my wishes came true

That you'd be "my everything"

And it would've been you

In defense of my own

I now only have none

For I wake up alone

And you're not the one

We were something

But is now long gone

Now burned to nothing

For you couldn't be the one
