I Used To Love

By: Amanda J. Drees

I used to love someone
So smooth and suave
I would've given anything
To make sure he'd be okay

One day things got unruly
Too complicated to see
Too hazy to understand
Too weird to make any sense

I loved him fully
I loved him with my life
I loved the ground he walked on
I loved the simple things

One day it began to tumble
He wouldn't tell the entire story
So maybe I could believe him
He lied too many times

I had to crush our love
Put an end to what we had
Push it away
Never to be brought up again

I thought I could be the same
The same as I was before him
Now today I look at myself
Wondering how I ever made it without him
