Inspired by a special person in my life, who showed me everything that love SHOULD be, versus what I thought it was.

Before you, my life was all wrong
Before you, I didn’t know I was strong
You gave me what I needed
To stand proud and tall
And now you stand here with me
To catch me when I fall
Before you, I was so empty inside
Before you, my fragile spirit had died
You touched a place within me
I never knew was there
And filled it with your presence
And a love that is so rare
Before you, I lived under a cloud
Before you, I couldn’t see past the crowd
But now the world is different
I always have blue skies
And everything is beautiful
When looking through your eyes
I didn’t know if I would make it
Didn’t think that I could take it
Before you
