Once upon a time, we were children. 

Staring at each other with curiosity in our innocent eyes, both too shy to say a word to the other.  

Both too young to understand what that simple greeting could have given us.  

Too young to understand that it could have given us a head-start. 

Once upon a time, we were classmates. 

Neither of us knew it until you rushed in on the first day, sweat dripping down your forehead as you apologized to the teacher. 

You took a seat next to me since it was the only seat available. 

I hadn't done anything, but still you smiled at me like I had given you the whole world. 

Even though in that moment, it was you who gave the world to me. 

It was just that I hadn't figured that out just yet. 

Once upon a time, we were best friends. 

We were the kind of friends who'd tell the other everything. 

Who'd offer ones shoulder to cry on when the other needed it the most. 

We were the kind of friends who were known for being inseparable, one part never seen without the other. 

We were like two pieces of a puzzle. 

The pieces that clicked together the best. 

Once upon a time, we were a couple. 

You had confessed to me on Christmas eve. 

I remember you being so cute, all shy smiles and flushed cheeks. 

You gave me a rose and a present, and asked me out on a date. 

It was the best holiday of my life. 

Once upon a time, we were lovers. 

We had just graduated school, and had gotten our first apartment together. 

It wasn't big, nor was it luxurious, but I loved it the most. 

All because it meant that I could be together with you. 

On our first night there, you made love to me and told me you loved me.  

And I told you that I loved you too. 

Once upon a time, we were newlyweds. 

We didn't have big ceremony, nether of our families approved of our relationship anyway. 

But we were happy, getting marred in front of our closest friends. 

It was one of the happiest days of my life. 

We spent our honeymoon at home, just the two of us. 

You apologized that you couldn't afford a trip to the tropics, but to me it didn't matter. 

I didn't care where we spent time together as long as we were together. 

Once upon a time, we were separated. 

It all happened so fast. 

One minute we were laughing, walking home together after you had come to pick me up at work. 

The next, we were lying on the ground.  

I could barely hear or see, but when I saw you lying there by my side I screamed. 

Your eyes were cold, and so was your hand where it was still holding mine. 

And you fool, you smiled at me and told me that we'd meet again. 

And just like so, your eyes turned white. 

And you flew far, far away. 

To a place where I couldn't reach you anymore. 

Once upon a time, we were waiting. 

I knew you wanted me to live happily, but I couldn't. 

Not without you by my side. 

So I was just sitting there, waiting for the right moment. 

And I guess you were sitting somewhere too, waiting as well. 

Maybe you had been watching over me all along, or maybe you just knew that t was time for you to pick me up. 

I had no more time. 

My time had reached its' end when this cruel world took you away from me. 

And so, I jumped. 

Once upon a time, we were reunited. 

Falling wasn't scary, it was actually relaxing. 

It was the waiting that scared me. 

As I got closer to the ground, I was waiting for you. 

For you to come and get me. 

For you to take me home. 

And once I felt arms around me, and white feathers clouded my vision, I knew I was there. 

I was at home. 

Once upon a time, we were angels. 

Looking down at the people living their lives from the rooftops above. 

Sometimes I envy them, and sometimes I pity them. 

Because I know what life is like. 

It's unfair, cruel and a living nightmare. 

But it's also the most wonderful thing there is. 

Because it brings people together. 

You bring your arms around me as you kiss me, parting to look deeply into my eyes. 

"Where do you want to go? We can go anywhere we want now." 

I smile at him as I kiss him again, turning back to look at the bright city-lights. 

There's a beauty in it that you can't see when you're still alive. 

Because only the dead have the time to really admire it. 

I can't believe how I couldn't see it before. 

"Let's just stay here for a bit longer. After all, we've got all the time in the world now". 

A/N: I don't really know where this came from.  

I didn't have the time to write a full update for any of my stories tonight, but I still wanted to write something. And well... it ended with this. My first ever drabble. 

I'm not sure if it's any good, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out myself ^^ 

Opinions?  

Thank you for reading! Bye bye!
