When You Loved Me
 
 
Once when you loved me
the world shone
people were good
I was real
you were real
hope and faith
were more than words
and God was
in me
in you
in what we said
where we were
what we did
and for a second
I believed
in all I saw
and felt and heard
of  you
of  me
in God
in perfect
endlessness
