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
