If I had never met you, I would not know what love was.
Of days of laughter.
Of months of feeling like my heart was held.
God & Man
Of those years of big, beautiful, and bountiful love.
I perhaps would have gotten snippets of it.
And you were the real thing.
If I had never met you, I wouldnt be me.
Because you see, you made me find myself.
You made me find myself when you left me.
God & Man
You made me find myself when you said goodbye.
When you took your final bow.
When you blew me a kiss and wished me a final farewell.
If I had never met you, I wouldnt have gotten to where I am today.
Someone totally different from the girl you used to know.
Someone different than I was at seventeen.
I wouldnt have had to learn how to move on.
On how to let go.
Thank you for the love.
Thank you for the kisses that swept me off my feet.
Thank you for the innocent love.
For the hands you held in mine.
Thank you for giving me your heart.
And thank you for letting go of mine.
If I had never met you, I wouldnt be strong.
I would be naive.
I would still believe in the fairytale of it all.
I would still be so hopelessly in love with the thought of love.
But I never would have experienced it.
If I had never met you, I wouldnt have a heart strong as armor.
I wouldnt have a heart as bold as neon lights.
I wouldnt have a heart that is full.
So thank you for the love and for the leaving.
Thank you for all of it.
And thats a beautiful thing.
Im a beautiful thing.
