Once upon a time

I don't remember when

Exactly

It was all in place, hidden

Back in the day

When I was myself

Before I went away

A time when I didn't need help

Back in the day

Taken for granted

While others prayed

I was not frantic

Yet it seems

To me

So very long ago

You see

Back in the day

When I had not a worry

Or even a thought

I knew who I was

Now I do not

Or maybe I think I don't

I haven't a clue

But back in the day

I knew

It's just too bad

I ever met you

...Back in the day
