(Y/N)-

We were young
Full of life
Nothing in our way

We would always go down to the lake
The sun shining off the waves
Your hair flowing in the breeze
It was one day
When you smiled at me
When I knew I was falling

My small, fresh mind
Couldn't handle such thoughts
Thoughts of passion
Love
Life
Happiness

I knew from the start
That my heart was no longer mine

We grew into adults
Still children inside
We lived near each other
Like we always said we would
You would visit everyday
Bring berries and bread
And we would climb on my roof
And talk about the future

And when I asked you to be mine
How nervous I really was
I thought you would say no
Say you had someone better

But you said yes
You said yes when I asked for your love
You said yes when I asked for your hand
You said yes
Then I love you
Then I do

It wasn't long before she was born
Our beautiful Grace
Named after your mother
With eyes like yours
A nose like mine
It was a beautiful start
To a beautiful family

We weren't rich
We weren't poor
But we needed something
I felt obliged
Obliged to help
You were my girls
I needed to help my girls

So I pulled out the hat
My father's hat
The hat that was a blessing and a curse
The hat that was your demise

I tried to stop
I really did
Please beleive me
She asked for a mission
I said no
So she took the thing I loved most
You

I kept Grace safe
Even after you were gone
I promise I did
She was happy
Even if we were poor

I tried to buy her a rabbit
But I couldn't afford it
I tried making her one
But it wasn't the same

So I took the hat
Off the shelf
Out of the case
And I used it

I didn't leave her
I was deceived
My love
Please forgive me
I didn't want to leave our daughter
I didn't mean to

I tried to get back
I went mad
Insane
Needle after needle
Stitch after stitch
I tried to built the one thing I hated most
The hat

If that wasn't enough
A curse came over wonderland
Sent us into a different reality
A different world

We were the same
Either happy or depressed
Evil or good
Sane or mad

I had the knowledge
I knew of the curse
Everyone else forgot
Thought their entire lives
Were in that town
But I knew
I knew the real truth
And they called me mad

Grace is out of my grasp
Her name is Paige
She not even our daughter anymore
She has the same smile
The same laugh
The same eyes
The same nose
But not the same life

I wish you were here
In my arms
I wish you would kiss me
And say it's going to be okay
Like you always used to

I need you here
My love
You always were magic

Miss you darling,
Jefferson
