No Need For a Requiem

Before you were here

I was lost in a spiral

Of counterfeit friends

Never the real deal

'Til you proved I'm worth something

Surprised me with gifts

Gave me the courage

To be me and have a voice

That nearly matched yours

Helped me recognize

I was no longer alone

Never forgotten

No need for a requiem of the life I once led,

You breathed new meaning into a world I thought dead.
