it was you.

You stood there with your arms out wide
I didn't look, I didn't want to see.
You had your heart in my hands
I had already stomped on it
And still there you stood with your arms open wide
you showed me love, the kind I always dreamed about.
As a little girl you were my knight
I always dreamed of you
and here you are with your arms open wide.
What did I do?
Why was I so cruel?
You deserve it.
You deserved only the best
You dried my tears so many times
You held me tight when the fear crept back in
I loved you always and still do.
No matter what through thick and thin
through better or worse
I never really knew what I had.
Never knew until I lost it.
And yet somehow even as I walk out the door there you still stand...
with your arms wide open waiting for me.
