Before and After
I used to be whole
But now I am half.
I used to be one,
But now I’m in it for the long run.
I used to be just me lost to an unknown degree
But now I am with him I truly feel free
I used to be alone; a puppy without as much as a bone
But now I call him my home.
I used to be down further than the ground
But now I am up high flying beyond the sky.
I used to be single always left on my own
But now I’m taken it’s something widely known.
I used to be broken with my heart split in two
But now I am fixed for on me his eyes rest
I used to be one person
But now we are a couple
I used to be so little
But now I am so important
I used to be “I”
But now it is “Us”
I used to be nothing
But now I mean something.
