Once upon a time
When it got hard being me
When no further I could see
When my soul wasn't free
Once upon a time
When I couldn't get up
When my head was messed up
When I had no back up
Did I live or just exist?
When life passed as a gentle swift.
What was it that my heart had missed
I could feel the darkness kiss.
When it got hard being me
When no further I could see
When my soul wasn't free.
But then
But then I saw you.
When you passed through.
An ounce of relief I felt.
Something, that I wasn't used to.
Before my hopes went high
I returned to the darkness with a sigh
But I wouldn't deny,
That one look was sublime.
I remember that day
When you casually said, "Hey!"
I hadn't a clue of what to say,
But my life was colourful from grey.
Oh dear, you couldn't see
But you hit me like a poetry
It felt like some of my soul was free
And it got easier being me
I remember watching you vulnerable
Your heart and head unstable
All other sounds in the cafe were fable
I had never seen you so miserable.
We talked that night for hours
About all the sweet and sours
I was happy in this little world of ours
You gave me these beautiful powers
For me, the most happiest day
Was when you said what I wanted to say
You really took my breath away
Made it the best birthday!
And now
You have made it easier being me
With you I could further see
Alas! my soul is free
