Before I Met You

Before I met you

I was an empty shell of nothingness

A zombie walking dead

Without purpose or reason

I was a nameless nobody

Aimless in every season

Before I met you

A ghost of a man

Numb by routine and circumstance

A shadow floating across the land

Without anchor

Without origin

An empty shadow of nothing

No purpose or reason

Before I met you

I was asleep

Stunned and gobsmacked

By the loneliness

Where my heart escapes

Pain and heartache

Before I met you

I was blind

Now I see joy and delight

Where my eyes may glance

I see love and light

My heart takes a chance

Before I met you

My soul was an empty shell of darkness

Now I feel joy and delight

I see love and light

Before I met you

I was nothing

Now I'm in love

That's something

Before I met you

I was blind

Now I see love and light

I see you now

Joy and delight

Before I Met You

I was an empty shell

Now I'm filled 

With love and happiness.
