"There I Was, Here I Am"
Through the EARLY YEARS of our relationship
I dream only of HOLDING YOUR HANDS and KISSING YOUR LIPS
I dream only of having a BEAUTIFUL FACE
And a SLENDER BODY as you are
A person to like
As I am still YOUNG and CARELESS
I think only of having a person like you
To FILL THE EMPTINESS that I'M FEELING
There I was
Young
Thinking
That I like you
But as we progress
Through the LATER YEARS
I see more
Than what I've wanted before
Before I only hold your hand to feel warmth
Now I watch it
As I imagine your HAND growing wrinkles
Your LIPS feel smoother and softer
I imagine your FACE wrinkling
Still beautiful and keep me thinking
That time is what we dearly spent
With each other
Your BODY no longer slender
But no need to worry
That still is mine
Is what will matter
I imagine before
That I only WANT
A person to LIKE
As I was YOUNG and _CARELESS
I think only before
Of having a person like you
To FILL the EMPTINESS
That I WAS FEELING
Now, as I look at your eyes
I can't help
But imagine
And realize
That I really need you
Now that I'm an ADULT and CAREFUL
That I really need you
The one who FILLED THE EMPTINESS THAT I'M FEELING
I can't help but imagine and realize
THAT THERE I WAS, YOUNG,
THINKING
THAT I LIKE YOU
I can't help but imagine and realize
That now I shed tears
Because of what
I'VE IMAGINED AND REALIZED
THAT HERE I AM
GROWN UP, IN FRONT OF YOU
KNOWING THAT
I LOVE YOU
You probably haven't heard
This line that's in my head
Now I'll proudly say
*THERE I WAS, HERE I AM
