Once

Once, a time, a place, a face
close, warm, linger.

Once, never knew precious things
would be lost. When, where, who
walk in, out of life.

Once, it comes back for a while,
a heart breeze and it's gone.

Once, maybe endless
after today, tomorrow.

Once, colours of season washed,
heart freezes and it's gone.

Once, forgetting once,
no longer I am
who I was.
