Once Upon a Time – Remember Me

Once upon a time –
we were drowning in stars.
Once upon a time –
we were drowning in timelessness.
Once upon a time –
we were drowning deep in each other’s eyes
when we first met.

Was it yesterday –
or a life long gone?
Have we crossed paths before
or just been lost along the way?

Still,
when you tell the truth, remember me,
when you wish to lie, remember me,
when you dance and laugh, remember me,
when you wish to die, remember me.

There are countless poems
about love – let them be,
and countless sunsets to feel and see,
but none of them can tell the tale:
once upon a time,
there were just us—
you and me.
