NaPoWriMo 2013 Day 2: Once

Where there were once endless possibilities
Now lie the remnants
Of what used to be
There once was you
There once was me
And all the things between us
The distance
The dividends
Didn't mean a thing
Now we can't seem to find a rhythm
Or a reason to be

For every special moment
A regret has taken its place
Once you were a warrior
Who would have fought to the death
For me
Now all that's left of what we were
Is the space between the words
That go unsaid
To remind us
Of what could have been
Had we taken the time to find our happy ending
