Mine, Once Lyrics by Dryden Thomas

Waterbearer

2019

I had a dream I didn’t love you anymore
It was awful, darling
And I was filled with fear I’ve never felt before
You looked awful, darling
Your hair was a mess, and your beard came in patchy
You were too thin, like bones and skin
And I waited in bed for the love that once attached us
All those soft sins, your chafing chin
‘Cause you were mine, once
Mine, once
Mine, once
Mine, once
And you were mine, once
Mine, once
Mine, once
Mine, once
And I’ve been turning it around like every other hour
As a clock hand, steadily:
Was I weaving mirages or building a tower?
Were our souls in symmetry?
And the best that I can come to is that
Just because you can’t explain it
Doesn’t mean it wasn’t true
And knowing that, I’m working through
That I was yours, once
Yours, once
Yours, once
Yours, once
That I was yours, once
Yours, once
Yours, once
Yours...
I told you everything
When our cup was emptying
I told you too late
When I rolled my bones against this fate
And I tried but I still wish that I
Could make you understand
All the things that I am
Like I was yours, once
Yours, once
Yours, once
Yours, once
And you were mine, once
Mine, once
Mine, once
You were mine, once
