Once Upon A Better Time

I still remember it,
Once upon a better time,
We were happy,
Even before you were mine.
Four years came and went,
Once upon a better time,
Everything was so simple,
Back before I started to rhyme.
It’s been two years,
Once upon a better time,
I realized I loved you,
You were mine.
A month went by,
Once upon a better time,
Now I’m left here in tears,
But you’re still my favorite crime.
