Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time
You and me…e were together
We were inseparable
We shared a bond
That other envied
We were blessed
With lots of smiles and laughter
We shared many unspoken secrets
Such was our bond
That we looked at each other
And knew the thoughts floating
We felt each other like
Air feels our skin
You and I were together
It was once upon a time
It is decades now
We have traveled separate paths
You and I are still together
Time has taken a toll
The bond is weaker now
With time, the “me” has fizzled
There is a new fresh breeze now
That sits in “me’s” place
We still look at each other
But do not share the secrets
We still feel each other
But there is a vacuum
Such was our bond
That is no longer there
We tread different paths now
Constant is the change
That will remain with us
Time will unfold many more secrets
That do not share now
There will be joys and tears
That we may not share
There will be success and failures
That will excite and hurt
Life will tread its path
With “me” or without “me”
