You were an exemplar (“the evidence”) of virtue, a kind of excellence; you represented a new idea in a larger movement, a figurehead of innovation and transformation. But you have since confused and contradicting your previous accomplishments. You were someone I was in love with. When you and I were together, we once were in an embrace that I will remember forever ("You were eternity"). But things didn't work out. So I dumped you ("Now you're just the past").
