You Were

Once Upon A Time

you were the center of my world
You were the first person I thought of
at first mornings light and
the last one I thought of before the stars blanketed the sky at night
You were my diamond I treasured with all my heart
I find myself wondering if that meant anything to you
You shined brighter than anything I'd ever seen
You were my Valentine for sixteen years
I loved you more than I loved myself

I wish I could've been the diamond of your heart
Lord knows you were mine
I still wish we could make it work but
I don't want to need you like I once did
it would hurt too much
