How Much I Needed You

If hindsight had two eyes
To look ahead 
And look behind
I'm sure then 
I'd realize at

How much I needed you

Before it is
I let you go
In the passion
Of the throe
I wish then 
What I now know is

How much I needed you

Before my world
Came undone
Before I learned
The meaning of true love
Before I knew
How much the cost was in

How much I needed you

Now that it all
Is different
At the very 
Bitter end
All I can think of
Is back then and

How much I needed you

Such a bittersweet write, Mike. The world does come undone when we lose a love.
