USED TO

USED TO

I used to see you online and we talked every day.

You used to text my phone; you had so much to say.

You used to wait up late for me on your computer, and that really made my day.

You used to always be there, now you're invisible, you've just gone away.

You used to come see me like we had no time to waste.

We used to be alone and your passion I would taste.

You used to be next to me like your space and my space was the same place.

You used to tell me that I was yours and you were mine, and I thought that was the case.

We used to hold each other all night 'till the dawn came peeking through.

We used to be alone holding each other, just me and just you.

I used to nibble your ears and it seemed to bring such delight.

I used to touch your face and it felt so right.

We used to go to the movies to see something scary and full of fright.

We used to go to a place where we could cuddle all through the night.

We used to go out to eat, even if it was just for a bite.

We used to sit next to each other just so we could be in each other’s sight.

We used to sit and talk every chance we could.

I used to see you smile and laugh and that made me feel good.

I used to tell you that you drive me crazy and made the fire burn through.

I used to ask you if I drove you crazy, and you would say if I only knew.

We used to walk through stores holding each other’s hand.

We used to be, without a question or doubt, each other’s biggest fan.

I used to call you my baby, you would say well maybe.

You used to call me honey and that was really special to me.

You used to tell me to call you, just so you could hear my voice.

You used to be there in my dreams, I really had no choice.

I used to look forward to seeing you, anywhere anyplace.

I used to feel so lost when I couldn't see your smiling face.

We used to make plans on when we could meet.

I used to feel that our time together was such a treat.

I used to feel we belonged together and that's all I could see.

Now all these things that we used to do are just things that used to be.
