A Time

There was a time when there was someone I gave my all to.
A time when I felt there was someone to share my burdens with.
A time where I didn't feel as though the weight of the world was on my shoulders.
You were the reason for that time.

Now is a time where my heart is heavy and my mind is burdened.
Now is a time where there are plenty of people to share with.
Now is a time where none of them I feel a connection with.
You are the reason for this time.

Then was a time where I felt like time with you would be a dream I'd never wake from.
Now is a time where I feel as though this nightmare will never end.
Then is a time when I thought I'd never see this nightmare.
Now is a time where I wish my dream would begin again.

Now is a time where I realize that it's time to allow my life to change.
Then is a time where I thought I could never move on.
Now is a time where I decide i must move on.
Now is a time where I don't know if I can.

There was a time where I knew we would last forever,
A time where i would spend nights by your side.
There was a time where I knew our love would carry us through anything.
That time was when I looked in your eyes.

Now is a time where I wonder how I got from there to this time.
A time where I'm afraid to stare into those eyes.
Now is a time where I wonder how I let things progress.
To a time where I cannot even look at you.

Now is a time of forward progression.
Now is a time where I can no longer look back.
Now is a time where I can no longer long for that time.
Now is the time where I leave all of this behind.
