Use to be...

Life use to be about the memories...

The ones I captured on camera...

One day I realized that they weren't filled with love...

Just a flower that had not bloomed...

Life use to be about the people who seemed to be important....

Until I became conscious of the fact that there is nothing more important than love....

Love, something that was popular but I'm guessing I wasn't one of the cool kids....

Life use to be a party...

And then one day I noticed that you were never invited....

Couldn't understand it then but I know now...

That you couldn't have been there waiting for me , because I wasn't waiting on myself.

So impatient that I couldn't see the bigger picture...

Life wasn't about the pictures...

It was missing something and someone....

Never imagined that something and someone would be you.

These pictures don't seem as important....

That party...I said I can do without it...

Rather stay in and dream of you...

Seems like a fantasy but so real I can touch it...

Life use to be about the likes on my pictures...

Until I saw that none of them were liked by you...

Was I so blind to see that you were interested in me and not who I pretend to be ?

Foolishly thinking that these pictures explained me....

When i didn't even know how to explain myself...

These people and these pictures meant nothing because I had no purpose...

God sent me home on purpose....

And it was so worth it...

I got way more than a second chance...

I got a start at love and a life...

Life use to be about filling this void...

And I finally got rid of the void and replaced it with loving myself...

Looking for someone to love me...

When I could have loved me a little harder...

Could have told me to be a little smarter...

But it doesn't matter because now I got it...

Life use to be...

Always talking about how life use to be...

And now I'm living it and I just hope I don't go back to how I use to be...
