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.
