Before and After
You unlocked the door
to a place I'd never been before;
I took your hand
and we walked freely through it
You helped me view
a world I'd never seen before,
Wrapped in your arms,
you gently took me to it.
I could not see
the forest for the trees before.
I sang the songs
but never heard the music.
My sky was grey,
the sun could not be seen before.
You parted the cloud
and let the light shine through it.
I never knew
what love I had in me before,
but now I know,
there's no way to refute it!
