When

There was a time when we,

you and me,

had been it seemed 
 
more than all the world.

When you did fill me with that strength

that makes men gods.

Or better.

But it was nothing more than love,

a manmade thing that lets us think

there’s more to life than earthly strife.

And we, 

just for a moment had forgot 

what true life is

and what it's not.
