I loved you once; I loved you deeply
I loved you once
I loved you deeply
You eyes are pools of brown
Your lips the pillows I seek refuge
Your warmth keeping me safe
Your grip on my hips holding me tight
Your fingers running up and down my spine grounding you to me and me to you
I loved you once
I loved you deeply
We laughed sharing a joke only familiar to you and I
We traced the outline of each others profile
I traced my fingers up and down your skin
Soft to the touch but full of warmth
Full of love
I loved you once
I loved you deeply
Physical the connection, the craving satisfied
But like time and space all things become distant
The words became hollow
The touch becoming foreign
How can it be the place I called home become so empty
I loved you once
I loved you deeply
Perhaps I have my part to play
Perhaps I left my grief turn our love from crimson red to grey
My grief, you could not understand
I told you I was drowning
You told me to learn to swim
I loved you once
I loved you deeply
I learned to float
I learned to swim
Every time I would tread, my grief pulled me under
You said I was sick, You said I needed help
But never once did you offer me a hand to hold
I loved you once
I loved you deeply
Against better judgement, I stayed
Against better judgement, I expected change
Against better judgement, I expected you to care
Like a fool I stuck around
I blamed my grief for tearing us apart
I loved you once
I loved you deeply
I called to speak
Your voice was cold
I said we need to part ways
You provided no reasons to stay
You craved physical, I craved spiritual
I loved you once
I loved you deeply
You called me back late at night
At a time when nothing good seems to happen
You asked for a reason to which I explain
You said I gave up, my reasons make no sense
But you see boy I love
I waited
And waited
And waited for you
I loved you once
I loved you deeply
But it was not enough for you to love me back
