I REMEMBER WHEN



 I remember when you were,
The peanut to my butter.
  I remember when you were,
The one; There's no other.

  I remember when you were,
The near to my far.
  I remember when you were,
The drink in my bar.

  I remember when you were,
The calm to my hectic.  
  I remember when you were,
The spell in my magic.

  I remember when you were,
The release of my pain.
  I remember when you were,
The link in my chain.

  I remember when you were,
The reason for my smile.
  I remember when you were,
The color of my style.
  
  I remember when you were,
The reason to try.
  I remember when you were,
The blue to my sky.

  I remember when you were,
The reason to be good.
  I remember when you were,
The gangster in my hood.
  
  I remember when you were,
All I would ever need.
  I remember when you left me,
Here to bleed.
