You Used To

You use to kiss me so deeply 
It made my knees tingle 
You use to call me beautiful
and tickle me until I surrendered
You used to leave hickey marks 
so red that makeup couldn't cover
and hold me tight like I was trying to excape
you used to tell me how lucky you were
           to have me 
and call me every second 
just to give me an update
   or to hear my voice
You use to give me pleasures
beyond any other measure
you use to be sweet and kind
you use to say how much you 
miss me and how much you need me
we'd both been searching for so long 
for something good to come in our lives
You used to say I was a good choice
and you used to love my lips so good
we wouldn't come up for air 
You used to look forward to me
used to say I was the best part 
            of your day
You used to want me in your heart
  you used to say that you never
         ever wanted to hurt me
          Guess things have changed
            cause i'm sitting here lonley
