I loved someone once, more than life itself.
I met someone once, who knew me better than myself.
I let someone in my life once, opened every part,
I loved someone once with all my heart.
I lost someone once, I lost this man I love.
I lost everything once, I lost the man I love.
So now, I'm making a vow, to never lose again.
If I never love, never trust, then I never lose 
and this pain can never begin.
Never let anyone reach me at the depth he touched me.
Never again, that close to anyone will I ever be. 
Never again, let anyone get that close to me.
Never again, that much of myself, let anyone see.
If I never let anyone get that close again,
Then never again, can this hurt, this pain, ever begin.
Close my heart, my mind, close it all,
Never let anyone pass this wall.
Create a barrier around me,
Keep everyone at a distance arm's length from me.
I love him still, I don't regret what we shared,
I will never forget how much he cared,
I know the loss doesn't outweigh the gain,
but I cannot go though this again, cannot take this pain.
So push everyone away, and keep my own self locked away,
No matter how strong love is, to death, one cannot say no,
And I can't allow myself to love someone who cannot stay.
I loved someone once, but never again, 
and that is all.
