You

I didn’t think it could exist, a brand new love like this

Not after the apocalypse that followed my first kiss

But new arms hold me tighter

And closer to the heart

Of the one who makes me lighter

I’ve been floating from the start

A new beginning

A new chance to be

With the person

I thought I’d lost

But that person helped me see

It was you

All along, it was you

As a child dreaming of the day

Wishing I could know your name

And were you thinking the same?

It was you

Everyday, I would wait

And just before I thought “oh, what’s the use”

You walked into my view

And I found you.

The mornings used to be

A reminder of how lonely

My bed was before you

And nighttime was a curse

Until the night when you kissed me first

And I knew.

It was you,

All this time, as I cried, it was you

Your eyes caught mine like silver rain

And I could tell you felt the same

You smiled as you walked my way

It was you

Everyday, from then on

We’d be drunk on possibilities

Reality became the fantasy

Because of you.

It was always you.
