I find it hard to remember when; we wore colorful berets in our hair instead of make-up on our faces.
I find it hard to remember when; we got along without any fighting.
I find it hard to remember when; our innocent minds pushed away the truth about the world.
I find it hard to remember when; we first slept in complete darkness.
I find it hurts to remember when; our lives started to slip apart.
I’m scared to think that now; I’ve lost you from my heart.

Ahh yes. You are afraid to lose him. I know the feeling. I would love your feedback on the poem I wrote. It's called PLUTO. In astrology, pluto is the planet of obsessions and sparks. So check it out:) And this is amazing.
