wasn't it good

  focused on the things we're missing
  ignoring everything we've got
  a thousand doors that stand wide open
  won't make up for just one that's shut
  seeking nearness from the distance
  but scared whenever it comes close
  frozen hearts exposed too briefly
  to the sun to melt the floes
  
  all my secrets, dreams and wishes
  freely laid into your hands
  my faith and my self-esteem
  rise and fall at your command
  all my nerves and all my senses
  in constant state of red alert
  a mind in pointless, restless motion
  a body hopelessly inert
  
  hiding behind walls of silence
  when there would have been so much to say
  whoever said ‘silence is golden’
  for sure he'd never come our way
  
  nostalgia is a dangerous poison
  if mixed with bitterness and grief
  makes the past look so much brighter
  forms illusions of relief
  makes what's lost still seem an option
  though it failed the test of time
  pretends the years have done no damage
  that we're still in our prime
  
  wasn't it good, good just the way it was
  wasn't it good, before we first tasted loss
  when it felt real, and not too good to be true
  when we were young and free, and unafraid
  and when time was on our side
  wasn't it good, as long as we still had hope
  and firmly believed, that we had the strength to cope
  with whatever would come and stand in our way
  when we thought the life ahead of us
  would unfold to our demands
  
  in life we get a thousand chances
  but less they get with every year
  we hoped that time would be on our side
  but it moved on and left us here
  
  wasn't it good, good just the way it was
  wasn't it good, before we first tasted loss
  when it felt real, and not too good to be true
  when we were young and free, and unafraid
  and when time was on our side
  wasn't it good, as long as we still had hope
  and firmly believed, that we had the strength to cope
  with whatever would come and stand in our way
  when we thought the life ahead of us
  would unfold to our demands
