Once Be
So much... I no longer need to do
All that was meant means no more
When did I change... if I knew
Where was once a time I have lived for?
And I began to ask
Questions against my elusive past
Have I indecisively change too fast?
Or do minds with growth never last?
Never again to be me as before
To only have been to begin it all
The only thing, the only me harder to ignore
When did I, what did I live for?
Slower and faster to have lived
Outlasting my countless yesterdays to live anew
To begin again to once again believe
Has it been too long or is life more and more unreal?
Now I am with just a past to let go
Where was the past to have once lived for?
Funny how it doesn't feel as heavy to hold?
Does it mean all that was meant means no more?
