Before and After
Before you I thrived.
I smiled, I laughed, I cried.
Before you I loved.
I caressed, I kissed, I hugged.
Before you I grew.
I found strength I never knew.
Before you I changed.
I managed to find my true range.
Now you’re gone.
Again I will thrive.
I’ll smile, I’ll laugh, I’ll cry.
Again I will love.
I’ll caress, I’ll kiss I’ll hug.
Again I will grow.
I’ll find deeper strength I know.
Again I will change.
I’ll discover a broader range.
You’ve hurt me greatly, it’s true,
But I will be me, even without you.
