I once loved you.
the way a man loves
his music; bad songs
don't make it far.
I once wanted you.
the way an addict wants
his drugs; a high doesn't
last that long.
I once thought of you.
the way people thought
of god; powers don't make
the man.
I once loved you.
I once wanted you.
I once thought of you.
but, now you're gone.
