If You Weren't In My Life

I had a dream last night,
That you weren't in my life.
I thought it was true,
Until I woke up crying,
And reaching out for you.
And this made me think,
What I would be without you.
I would be lost in the darkness,
Swallowed up by this life,
Drowning in the sea.

You mean so much to me,
That I don't know what I'd do,
If I ever lost you.
You have so much to offer,
To a friend in need.
A smile,
A hug,
A holding of my hand.
Anything to make me feel better.
To watch the smile spread on my face.

I'm so glad you're my friend,
And so glad I met you.
But more than that,
I'm glad dreams aren't true,
If they were,
I wouldn't have you right now,
I would be so lost,
And I wouldn't know love.
You taught me that,
You taught me how to love.
