Before You



Before You

Before you,
I thought,
I would die alone.

Before you,
I thought dreams,
 would never come true.

Before you,
I thought,
I was in hell forever.

Before you,
I could not wait for my prayers,
to be answered.

Before you,
I never really felt love.

Before you,
I thought was nothing,
and I was in a deep depression.

Before you,
I felt like,
God was not listening to me.

Before you,
Everyting around me,
was so hard to bare.

Before you,
I never had someone,
I could call my best friend.

Before you,
I was not whole.
