Before there was light, there was only black,
My emotions were drowned, my confidence weak,
I had no control of my life, I had to sit back,
People said I was special, I was unique.
But I did not feel this way, I was just another guy,
Living lifelessly, I was alone; there was no ally.
All I was told to do, was be original, be the only me,
But my two eyes were shut, I still could not see.
Finally the darkness would finally end,
The shadows of my life, it could not extend.
The tunnel would stop, ultimately come to a close,
Like in a bush of thorns, the one single rose.
You were my light, my only way out,
You were something special, something I knew nothing about.
If there was only one thing, it was the beauty of your eyes,
It must be where God's most precious gem lies.
I had the most angelic thoughts of you,
I cannot think of any words that could be more true.
But you had to go about and change,
You became a different person; It was all so strange.
You had to go out, and experiment new things,
Thinking of all the fun and excitement it will bring,
It was good for the moment, but it just won't last,
You'll be slammed back to the present, reminded of the past.
You taught me a lesson that I'll never forget,
Something I'll hold to heart, something I'll never regret.
Even after all the hours and minutes that we took,
I learned never to judge through the cover of a book.
As the day comes, the night must fall,
You are still the same person I saw in the hall.
Your body, your spirit, your soul, your mind,
Before I met you, I swear I was blind.
