What We Used To Be

We used to be friends.
We used to be more than friends.

We used to explore the night—
And wonder about things that might be right.
And think about the future
While asking if it's gonna be dark or bright.

We used to play some songs—
And have fun singing them.
Even if we don't really know the lyrics
It doesn't matter as long as we're happy—
So happy with each other's company.

We used to walk along the streets—
Hand in hand with our fingers intertwined.
Laughing about the joke you made
Ignoring the glances of people
Because we never really mind.

We used to eat together—
Telling our likes and dislikes.
Asking about the least and most favorites.
Laughing about each other's flaws.
With your smile, as my favorite menu.
Smiling even if the dessert's already over.
And our moments, as my favorite leftover.

We used to care for each other.
With you as my nurse when I'm sick.
While me as your inspiration—
through the thin and the thick.

We used to believe in forever.
We used to love and cherish each other.
We used to do the things that make us happy.
We used to be always so close to each other.
We used to be glad that we are meant to be.

What happened now?
What happened to you?
What happened to us?
What happened to the way we used to be?
