i knew you once:

i think i knew you once.
back when you were young;
when you were alive.
you smiled at me.
you made my heart race.
it was love at first sight.
i think i knew you once…upon a time.
in a fairy tale story,
i cast you as my Prince.
true love at long last.
but you had other plans,
and my world collapsed at the stroke of midnight.
i think i knew you once.
we were both happy then,
but now we’re both strangers.
and when i look you in the eye,
i wonder if i ever really knew you;
i wonder where my friend has gone.
