Before You (for Daniel)

Before You
I was emptiness
My life (if you could call it that)
Was an endless stretch before me
Grey days and long nights
Without
The hope of acutally living
The warmth of your being
Next to me
The knowledge of your soul
To have a love that would last
Beyond this life
Is greater than I thought I would ever know
My thoughts encircle you
Guiding me toward
My most excellent self
The who I could be
Mirrored in your eyes
