You Went Before Me
You came before meYears before I was ever conceived
Living your life in a hazy dream
So many things you saw and did
Yet you said you truly only lived
From the first day that we met
You were my senior by several years
Still I knew that what we had was real
Saying to hell with the skeptics
You taught me so many things
Together we traveled the world
Reveling in our love wondering if it was truly real
Now I lay alone and wonder if it was all just a dream
Leaving me to wonder why
Why did you leave me so suddenly?
The reason has alluded me
You said I was your reason to be
That you came before to watch over me
I know now there is only one answer
You will be there when the long day is done
When I am through you will be there waiting
So you went before me
