Once

Once
There was someone
That touch me
Like no one before

Once
You inspired me
Encouraged me
Made me feel alive

Once
The silence was deafening
The lives busy with all the wrong things
The growth turned out to be decay

Once
We drifted apart
I chose the common path when
The path less traveled would have suited better

Once again
I yearn for your encouragement
A reopening of doors and hearts
New worlds to explore together

Once again
I am willing
And what used to be
Will be once again and more
