I'd been walking in a shadow world,
the clouds were always hanging right above my head,
never letting me forget my past
or the pain that I tried to forget
till you walked into my life
took my hand and picked me up again.
You chased all the shadows away,
wiped my tears and taught me to smile,
you brought with you the sunshine
that I hadn't felt in so very long
and completely lit up my world,
there was nothing that was the same.
You touched my heart from the start,
that day that I realized how much I cared
when I thought that I had lost you forever,
I fought the feeling for as long as I could
till I realized how much you meant,
you were a lasting part
that I couldn't survive without.
