"Used To"

All the things we used to do,
Just me and you.
The great times we always had,
The good and the bad.
The laughs we shared,
Everything that dared.
The pain that we endured,
Too long until it was cured.
All the people we used to know,
Not being there to watch them grow.
Their faces we would see
As they became what they wanted to be.
All the days that were missed,
All those we never good-bye kissed.
All the places we used to like,
Where we'd go and ride a bike.
The scenery that was there,
The kindness and the care.
The shining sun.
The only one.
The beautiful blue sky.
The white, fluffy clouds that passed by.
The wind that blew so much,
That soft and gentle touch.
The trees that swayed side to side,
Going on life's long ride.
All the nights we used to spend,
Hoping and wishing they'd never end.
Looking up at the moon so bright,
Thinkind everything was just right.
The stars that glistened all around.
The greatness we always found.
The still waters that always gleamed,
When nothing was what it seemed.
The tears we used to shed,
All the problems that went unsaid.
The suffering we did.
The secrets we hid.
All the choices we made,
The consequences that would soon fade.
Those fears we tried to overcome.
Win some, lose some.
The anger we used to feel,
Trying to make a righteous deal.
Those we loved forever and always,
Kept in our hearts until the end of days.
Those we hated more than hell,
Their stories we never wanted to tell.
Those we never stopped caring for,
Trying to keep them from going through that door.
Those that used to make us cry forever
And wouldn't let us forget them, never.
All of this that was in your life and mine
That will some day, one day be just fine.
