once had

I once had someone
to call my own,
and someone had me too.

The someone that you had was me,
and my someone, it was you.

I never dreamt you'd go away,
but I wasn't blind you see,

and right before my eyes,
you went away from me,

a little at a time,
after time after time.

I just didn't know what to do,
to try to get you to stay,

but I knew how bad it would hurt me,
if I had to watch you walk away,

but, what was I to do,
what was I to say,

when I begged you to help me,
you'd just laugh in my face,

and your laughing turned to walk,
though I didn't want to see you go.

Weren't you the one,
weren't you my soul mate,

weren't you the one
I was led to by fate.
