Before and After
Before we met,
I lived, I laughed, I loved
half heartedly.
I was quaintly content,
happy carefree.
But I never wanted anyone
to become a part of me
When we met,
I learned to give,
to want, to need,
to completely share
And somehow I felt
you would always be there
After we met,
I knew trust and true friendship
needing nothing more
And I knew I would never be the same
as I was before
