I Once Loved

I once loved and it killed me.
I once lived and I died.
I once dreamt and I woke.
I once ate and I breathed.
I have done and I have said,
For I do one and I do two.
But never have I done two and did one.
Never have I killed and loved it.
Never have I died and lived.
Never have I woke and dreamt.
Never have I breathed and ate.
Never have I said and done.
For with good follows bad,
But bad does not follow good;
Ideally, I must add.
It is a must to remember so,
But it is human to forget.
Therefore, forget to remember,
But never remember to forget.
