Once It Was So

Your force of nature

Your beacon, your light

I was that force,

Or wasn't that so?

Your reason for life

Your greatest feat yet

You were just mine

Back then it was so.

For awhile I was

The dream you once dreamt

As a smaller girl, tender

Heart void of contempt

I hear you around me

And smell you and see you

Yet you're not around me

Still, once it was so.
