"the times"

Think about the times when

I said that we’d be better off

Alone

I can’t believe

Not just that I said it

But that I said it more

Than once-

What was I thinking?

How could I have

Been so careless

With my words

Cutting down

Something so alive

Thinking of the time when

We got on that plane to

Somewhere else

While we were there

We were a couple

When we came back

We’re something else

What was I thinking?

How could I have

Been so naïve

Been so dumb

Thinking a trip

Could save us

Think about the times when

Everything was great

We never argued

The only strong words

Exchanged were

"I love you"

What were we thinking?

How could it have lasted so long

Nothing’s ever perfect

But we achieved it

For a bit

We had something

So alive…
