Used To

by JustAFoolInLove   Apr 25, 2005


I used to be scared
About what happened to me
I used to wonder
What I’d grow up to be
I used to think
About mistakes I’ve made
I used to remember
Memories that would never fade
I used to guess
What tomorrow would bring
I used to know
I’d get through everything
I used to be so sure
That I would live forever
I used to be oblivious
To the impossibility of this endeavor
I used to zest for life
To smile for each day
I used to cringe at a bloody razor
Until my heartstrings began to fray
I used to be proud
Of the things that I’ve done
I used to think I was special
But the chances of that are a million-to-one
I used to love the night
And the quiet of its song
I used to think that I’d survive
But now I know that I thought wrong

    Not special? You?? If you aren't special, than I am just plain ordinary! Oh, hon, you are going to make it. I'm right by your side, where I've always been. and I DON'T plan on leaving. Please stay with me, dear heart. You know how much you mean to everyone; to your family, your friends... and A LOT to me. Love you, babe. Hang in there...
