I Knew You Before I Met You
I knew you before I met you
Before our eyes first met
You were the one I was waiting for
You were the one my soul had been searching for
Perfectly flawed, but perfect for me
The perfect woman, lifted straight from every dream
I could try to explain you
But my words would do no justice to all you are
I thought I knew what love is
But you took it to an entirely different plane
The more we exchanged words
The more it confirmed what I already knew
You gave me messages that made how I felt ok
You told me that you knew I was the one
Whom you wished to spend the rest of your days with
How could we make it work
How could we give true love a shot
For a time we tried our best
Dying between each and every separation
Being reborn and finding peace again in each other’s embrace
I feel like I have lived a thousand lives
How do we live this final one
You said you will never be ok again knowing I exist
Mutual sadness
How do we go on now that we know of the other
Why did we decide protecting other’s from pain
Was more important than alleviating the torment of each day apart
Every dream I have ever had of you
Is now my greatest nightmare
The nightmare of knowing somebody else is living my dream
