Someone I Used To Know

Remember,
Our frequent talks
Our long walks
Oh so long ago

An age that has changed
I remember you
                You were a shining star
And on my chair I reclined
Seeing your potential glory shine.
                             A glory I wanted to be mine.

We were so young back then,
The smoke from our mouths leap
                                      collide and mingle
And my ears jump to the beauty of your voice
And if I were to go back, I wish I can make that choice

Oh, how things are different now,
You've since parted from my reality,
And dodged what I thought was destiny,
                                            really
Sometimes I think of this anomaly,
And I question: were you in my sanity?
In agony I question if you real
                                   pure as I hoped
I was infatuated

You turned out different from what I expected,
It's been long since our frequent talks and long walks
             Overbearingly long
But you're different than what I originally perceived,
Your friends are not my friends, and my friends are an illusion,
What used to be a shining star was actually like the billions of stars out there,
                                                                      In the world
and the galaxy
We coexist, but we don't correlate
                           Not anymore, at least
I'm sure you'll turn out just fine
                                     As fine as fine can be
But it seems that fate has chosen for you to never be mine

But I forever treasure your memory
                                     your melody
Your laughs echo from the past
Your smile has given me sustenance
And your change has made me strong
Goodbye, farewell, have a good life
I won't see you tonight, or any other night
But you will forever remain in my dreams.
                                             serenity.
