Was I like this before you?
I scarcely remember a time before you.
Before the love
The intensity
The flame.
I can scarcely recall not loving you.
I loved you before I even met you
Before I knew you existed.
I loved you
And I missed you.
Now I need you,
I have 16 ½ years to make up for,
For that feeling of missing someone I never knew,
Of loving someone I never knew.
