you meant a lot until

you meant a lot to me until I realized your body runs cold. you meant a lot to me until I recognized the ways you are bold. you meant a lot to me until I heard the number of times your voice cracks throughout the day. you meant a lot to me until you spoke of things you were initially afraid to say. you meant a lot to me until I saw the way you laughed. you meant a lot to me until I saw some of your chosen paths. you meant a lot to me until you told me the secrets you forgot to keep inside. you meant a lot to me until I stood by you while you cried. you meant a lot to me until I heard the mistakes you made in the past. you meant a lot to me until I discovered how different you were from the last. you meant a lot to me until all your flaws were laid out to see. but after all this time I've realized you don't mean a lot, you mean everything to me.
