You Were Once

You were once everything, You were once the light in my darkest night, You were once the fire inside me that burned so bright, You were once the person that made everything alright, The one that gave me answers and strength in my fight, You were once everything, You were once the joy found whenever I grinned, You were once the closest that I called my friend, You were once the time far worth the spend, You were once a truth that made me not have to pretend, The one that I wanted to keep safe and defend, You were once everything, You were once the head that laid upon my chest, You were once the relief that gave my heart rest, You were once a gift that made my life blessed, You were once the guidance that made me want to be my best, The one that took away all the anxiety and made life less stressed, You were once everything. You were once the person that said they loved my company, You were once the only place I ever wanted to be, You were once the part of every future I wanted to see, You were once the reason I was finally able to be happy, The one that once was my everything but I had to let free. Now your just that memory of a time you were once something to me.
