When I met you,
I knew I was in trouble
You were a dream to me
Turned into reality

The things I had done in the past
To protect myself from being hurt
Shattered like glass
I had no powers against your affections
I fell in love with your soul

You were the first woman
To look at me, inside and out
And see me for who I am
You convinced me to give love
A chance again

I realize now is the wrong time
The right time may never be

My short time with you
Set the high water mark
That may never be broken
I can’t help but be thankful, however
Because of you
Things long dead inside have awoken

I have never experienced
A sweeter or more passionate love
I don’t have to wonder anymore
Because I know it’s possible and true

I may never find another
But I really enjoyed my time with you

You taught me how to love once more
I had long before shut that door
With that door opened
Other things broke free

I’ve been reminded of
What it’s like to have lost
To miss someone
The pain of having a hole in your heart
That can’t just be filled with anything or anyone

If even for a moment
I know what we had was true
The simple truth now
With all of my heart
I just miss you
