I Loved You Once

I loved you once,
Once upon a time,
When things were different,
When my heart was younger,
When my life was much simpler,
I loved you once,
Choose to believe you over
People I had known for years,
Because I thought we would be together forever,
I thought we would be us forever,
I never thought that grey cold skies
Would end our relationship,
I never thought I would have to
Take all the strength and courage
In the deepest parts of my heart,
In the deepest parts of my soul,
To leave you behind,
I loved you once,
Once I would have done anything
To make you happy,
To make you want to be with me,
To make you do anything
To hold me once more,
To have you give me the love,
That I thought was deep in your heart,
But that has disappeared now,
The love has faded away like ashes into the wind,
The love has been casted out,
And I am left to move on,
I loved you once,
That I once while mad at another,
That truly does care for me
Dared to compare him to you,
But that has now gone away,
I will not let what once was,
The pain and the hurt that I felt,
When you decided to use my words against me,
I loved you once,
Once upon a time I would have given
Everything that I am and I did,
I hid parts of me to try to be your perfect someone,
But all it did was kill me in the inside,
And caused me to be bitter and unhappy,
I loved you once,
But now that has come to past,
I am finally ready to move on fully,
To let the love I once fill fade into darkness,
To let the light shine through again,
To let the peace fill inside of me,
To leave you behind,
To let the wind carry me through,
I loved you once,
But that was now over,
I am not letting the pain hold me back,
No I am not letting it hold me back,
No I am not letting it no longer.
