We met when I was young, maybe around 15 years of age
And for many years you stayed by my side, helping me
No matter what the situation was, you lent your voice
In the good times, the dark times, and moments of wonder
You were there beside me, keeping me company
Assuring me to hold on, for the day will come to reality
And when I was falling down, you laid beside me
Telling me not to give up, not just for me though
It was great to have someone there in such times
But it can’t last forever, for the day will come
We all need some sort of motivation in our lives
What kept me going when I was young was you
No matter where I was when I called, you answered
Yet what’s astonishing is we never met in person before
For the thing that kept me going was just a thought
Should reality ever meet with imaginary
I won’t be surprised if they look different
The surprise will be if recognition occurs
But when one instantly clicks with another
Perhaps I’ll realize it’s finally you in my life
No more wishful thinking from then on
For the day will come when we meet at last
Where I no longer float the river alone
For you are there with me from the first kiss
Yet little did I know until after getting to know you
That perhaps I wasn’t the only one who was waiting. . .
