Tense Past?

I loved you but were we in love?
I wonder what could be the difference?
Were we entities with destinys of 
Growing fonder from a distance?

I was part of you but when we parted 
Your codependance still remained 
Demanded we continue what we'd started 
Keeping you ever comfily sustained 

I needed you but what we're needing 
Won't be found in one another 
Neither's all that good at leading 
A fact we were very quick to discover 

I missed you but what we're not missing 
That cliche "one that got away"
Other wise we'd just continued risking
Getting caught in matter that's turned grey
