I used to have an idea about what was in store in my life. I knew where I came from, I knew my past. I knew what I was doing, and where I was headed. I had plans for a life of my own, where I would reach my dreams. Then you came along and changed everything. You became my world, and now I have no idea of anything other than you. I have no direction towards the rest of my life. The plans I had made were open to change, but not ones of this great extent. Everything I dreamed would make me happy now seems irrelevant compared to you. The past is obsolete and the future is only a blur of hopes and aspirations clouded with you. You became it. You became everything to my life, all that I would ever need. Now I haven't the slightest idea of anything past you. And the thought that is hardest to realize is the fact that the only thing I do know is you. You are all I need in my life. I now realize that all I had planned wouldn't make me slightly happy without you there to share it with me, and that I wouldn't have it any other way….
