The Best Thing For Me

I saw you alone and thinking so hard, 
I never knew your contemplation was about us being apart.
I thought you knew me and I thought I knew you
The best thing for me was you.

You have no right to play God, Who do you think you are
What kind of world without you this would be
my greatest nightmare you see
You really didn't have a clue
I wasn't looking for someone new
I soul-search for you in my dreams 
I cried and  longed for you
my body craved you and my heart missed every trace of you
today, the suffering and pain are long overdue
The best thing for me was YOU!!!

my best lover, Best confident, my best friend
you sacrificed it all for me to win
Life was so empty, I didn't know what to do
The best thing ever in this world for me was YOU!!!
