Once Upon A Time

by

Sekhem Psikor Strecker

How much have I opened up
And realised the perpetual emptiness
Though I knew my feelings well
I must have read between the lines
Maybe I needed some resistance
From the forces of being alone
But I suppose it was a waste of time
And now I'm repaying the debt...

And I miss you
So much that I have to realise
I never had you
And it's funny
Coz I could swear that I did love you
Once upon a time

You were a healthy burden
Yes, there was an arrow in my heart
It forced me to surrender my defences
But somehow I still remember
Was it foolish for me to admit it?
Did you think it was all a lie?
I am sure that one day I can look back
And make sure not to do it again

And I miss you
So much that I have to realise
I never had you
And it's funny
Coz I swear that I did love you
Once upon a time

It was a totalitarian situation
A Blue Eyed Master you were to me
Getting through to you was impossible
So I didn't try; didn't waste my time
It was as if you were a God
And I, a mere mortal
I wanted to live forever - like you
What wishful thinking that was

And I miss you
So much that I have to realise
I never had you
And it's funny
Coz I could swear that I did love you
Once upon a time

Come back to me; you never went away
Let me hold you again; for the first time
It's so hard to believe; it's so obvious
That I love you - I miss you; I never had you

And I miss you
So much that I have to realise
I never had you
And it's funny
Coz I could swear that I did love you
Once upon a time

How much have I opened up
And realised the perpetual emptiness
Though I knew my feelings well
I must have read...
