Lost Without You?

Before I met you, lost was I wondering through the twists and turns of life.

Though not knowing I was lost.

Looking back is as though looking in a mirror into the past and seeing I was incomplete.

You entered my life as a main character takes the stage,

I saw the sun rise...everything illuminated before me.

As a blind man who sees for the first time so my life became.

The happiness I found, never knowing to exist.

Never knowing that the event of one person entering ones life can be paramount.

Never knew of a love that could make me a different me.  

A better me.

I looked into our future and saw infinite possibilities of happiness.

Never seeing the failures, the hurt nor the pain that laid wait in our path.

Today I sit in indescribable pain.

The pain that you can't point to where it hurts.

I want to reach out to you and scream I love you!

Instead of the infinite love and laughter I once saw I now see you with another.

Another love?

I still can't place the events that lead to this place that we now stand.

As I look into that mirror of our past, I never saw me lost without you.

I thought you would be just another flame in the heat of summer.
