Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time we were happy, but that was a long time ago.
Why does my heart not flutter? You were once my Romeo.
But life just happens and days get busy, the important things shoved to the back.
The children need care, my "to do" lists are there, and our love is soon off track.

Year after year we go on this way, blissfully ignorant of the disaster forecast.
There's a trickle of hope, once in a while we connect, and reminisce about the past.
But that doesn't last long, the world crashes in, after a while we become like strangers.
Each doing our own thing, ignoring the pain, hoping the other will be the changer.

And change we did do, but not for the better, we both sought relief from the pain.
I turned to busyness, food, and TV and for you affairs and porn were the game.
Once upon a time we were happy, but that was a long time ago.
Why does my heart not flutter? You were once my devoted beau.

But today we do know that we both were at fault, for this disaster that ruined our love story.
We are resolved that once upon a time, will have a good ending, and God will get the glory.
