i remember when you used to act right,
you know when we first met,
when the days were too long and
the nights weren’t long enough
and now right is wrong and
these tired ass days are predictable
and nights, well they’re just a sad song.
i remember when you used to want me
and it was real, when you missed me
and you told me, when you thought of me
you showed me, and now
real is fake and I have to wonder
if you miss me these days and
the thought of you thinking of me,
well that’s an even bigger mystery.
i remember when you used to
do little things out of the blue
that made me glad that
the man i’d found was you
and now those little things are
non-existing and, oh, another thing,
special occasions don’t last long
and are not rectifying.
i remember when you had this
enduring passion, not just for me
but for life everlasting and
now you seem buried alive,
a vision of some horror story…
with this i pray with God’s glory,
a new breath in your life,
everything to make all wrong right
to bring dark to light…
to expose more love to your life.
