You

When I looked you in the eyes,
I knew what I wanted.
I wanted you.
When we danced in the rain, laughing our heads off.
I knew life with you would always be full of adventure.
When you held me close, resting your head on my shoulder,
I knew I loved you like there was no tomorrow.
When you yelled at me and told me it's over,
I knew my tears were falling down.
My heart had been turned black and cold.
I never knew I would lose myself because of you.
