once upon a time...

.nostalgia.

Once upon a time
there used to be love,
used to be a smile.
we used to be generous
used to be kind.
Once upon a time
we used to laugh,
used to joke.
we used to play
Once upon a time
we used to feel
we used to bless,
used to say-
'i love you'
and
'thank you'
...
we used to have hearts.
Once upon a time
we used to cry
we used to share
used to care,
used to say..
'I'll be there for you'

Once upon a time
there used to be life.

Once upon a time
we used to be alive!

Once upon a time. . .

Very sad. But so true.

I liked this piece a lot, particularly the repitition of 'once upon a time'
Unfortunately, 'forever' doesn't last for ever.

Damn. Reminds me of my relationship. I think I can go cry now. This is sadly touching, but true of the path that many relationships take the further they are removed from the "honeymoon" stage. So my question is, are most realtionships destined to be this way? Are we destined to start off happy and in love only to have those things fade as we grow used to each other and let "the real world" take over? Great insight into relationships in general though.
