We used to be real
everything we did was something to believe in
what do we have now?
pathetic attempts at sensitivity?
i wish everything was fine
wish everything had a purpose
like it used to
i just want everything to be
like it used to
i want everything back
all the passion
all the pride
i want you to just open your eyes
and see that everything isnt the same
everything isnt how it used to be
everything wasnt this shallow
this narrowminded
this cliche
just not how it used to be

all i have left
are lies of what used to be
forgotten messages
that tell me how much everything used to be alright
and your face
tells me of how much i used to have

we used to be okay

*different. very different. just trying a different look upon things.... also cuz it was a scool project.

Well, you get an AAA+++ for this project! Again, I find myself in the "I've been there" category.

"everything we did was something to believe in

Perfect lines!

I am wiht purity, great wtrite, and i have definetly been there.
Actually i am there right now. Everytime i think back to the "good times" it makes me so sad, and happy at the same time. Happy they happened, and sad that they ended....

Beautiful write hun, i really like it.

I ask why, but in my mind,

You made me cry with this piece. Somehow you stole the key and unlocked my mind. I can't belive how....beautiful and real and true and close to home it is. Bloody hell Lor, this came from the heart. I want to hug you. Keep it up love.
