Were

Allied, with much in common,
Best of friends they were,
It took but happy company to enliven,
But that was when they were.

There is no “is” anymore, it’s all a were,
A “were”, a “were” a “we were”
Where did it go, where did it disappear?
All the fun, and much good cheer?

Hapless it has now turned, and sad songs, I utter,
Vivid proclamations of honesty, just to make others believe,
But you know, in the bottom of my heart, I know,
There is no is, when there is only a were.

Why does it only have to be in the past?
Why do these things never last?
All I want, is a wonderful friendship,
To go back to all that we were.

I had been so exultant back then,
Flying away, like an unstrained kite,
Going with the herd, so careless,
But now, I do realize.

Aha, the mistake was humongous,
I’m really sorry, nothing can outlast,
My misery, my growing remorse,
Until you forgive me o’ course, and we can go back, to all we were.

I promise you that I’ll prove myself to be a better friend,
Than anybody has ever been,
I will do anything,
To bring that stolen happiness, back to you.
