I was moved from the time we met

You were the one I’d been looking for

To bring into this, our relationship

All things that I was in need of

Even the love that I’d been missing

You became my soul and inspiration

Someone I could always count on

To always be there at my side

You brought joy to mask my sorrow

Understanding to help soothe my pain

Installed confidence to be myself again

what we had was the richest of its kind

I had become wealthy in peace of mind

Although I’d been this far before

You gave me reasons to believe

You were for real unlike all the others

Who pandered to my needs, then left.

I grew very comfortable everyday

Settled into what I thought

was a most perfect situation

There is no way I would’ve ever believed

In my heart of hearts you were a taker too

And yet here I am on my own alone

You’re gone and am I’m left empty.

You packed up and took with you

The precious of gifts, you’d given me.

none of which was materialistic

Things that I treasured even more

You took away my self-confidence

And my newfound self-respect

You even took the love I had for you

Along with it went my peace of mind

You took most of all you’d given me

Memories and heartache you left behind.
