What Were We

like lightning flashes by
It all went on so quickly, despite all the risks we allowed our love take control
Shouting the rest of the world away 
My heart would take time to heal 
 
like a joke, I played with my feeling
For the first time I put me before all other 
and will do all over again 
Our moments spent together were well pleasing
but are very unforgettable 

like the universe, we couldn't define what we were 
but what we felt is real 
Held each other so close and letting go each time was like inseparable
Like putting apart of ingredients of a tea 

like the life of a mosquito, it was a short experience but with life time memories
With every conversation so touching
Every kiss so healing, tho they're countable  

like Russia and Ukraine, we are at war 
Could we ever move pass this? 
Could we be vulnerable around each other again?
Will we ever be mad at each other for no reason again?

like math 101, these questions are hard to answer
Gap hard to fill, unreachable distance now
What were we? did us even happen?
I miss you everyday LîÑk
