ONCE - by Johnna Marie Puckett




 ONCE

by Johnna Marie Puckett


You were once so close 
   that every breath I took was deeper than the last.
You were once so dear 
   that butterflies invaded everything inside me.
You were once so enchanting 
   my feet never touched the floor.
You were once everything 
   I could ever dream of and more,


But you're not there anymore.


You were once so unbelievable 
   that wings peeked from behind you.
You were once so charming 
   fairy tales were no comparison.
You were once so close to a dream 
   that when I finally went to kiss you, 
   I realized I had missed my chance.


You were once 
everything I could ever dream of
and more,


But you're not there anymore.
