When We Were We

When We were We it was just me and you. But then We became an Us. You added someone else to the picture. A picture that I didn't agree to take. When we were We everything was good. But I did something wrong, or I didn't love you like you thought I should. When We were We I loved you with all my heart. But We now being an Us the place where you once sat is empty and dark. When We were We I thought that forever we'd stay that way, But I should have remembered that We were now an Us and thought some other way. When We were We nothing could make me not smile, but Us being an Us my smile is always a frown. We were we but now you and her are a ya'll. We were We but now you and her are a them. We were We but I wasn't comfortable with being an US. We were we, but were is in the past. We were We, I wonder if she knew We were an US? And if she knew that We were nolonger a We and We were an Us I'll make her a Was.
