Before you, I only knew what I didn't want
listed the things I couldn't do again
walked away with ease
picked up on a tone or phrase or one slightly dismissive shrug, and I was out,
an interruption at the wrong time was an ending, not a pause,
but everything you do is a realization
this is all I've ever wanted.
If this is love, I have never loved before
all I've done is play pretend
hoping, wishing, waiting for you to come along and show me
what it is to be seen and understood
free of doubt or daydreams of what I might be missing out on.
I'll divide it all up telling stories someday
this or that was Before You,
and everything good came after.
