A Realization

I thought I was over it
I thought I was through
I thought I was moving on
Happy with what I do

When I see her I smile
Like I never did before
But somewhere in that moment
The scar you left feels sore

There will always be monsters
Always deep regrets
But through all of that
I am glad we met

Now we're with other people
Just strangers in the crowd
But I'm happy with who I became
Happy and so proud

The memories haunt me at times
Keeps me up at nights
But I feel her kindness and strength
And my world is filled with light

We will never be like we used to
Never chat all night
But I'm glad I met you
Who were once my light

Because if I hadn't met you
I'd have never found my light
Through the turmoils and plight
I'll hold her in my sight
And I know
She won't let go
Through the days and night
She'll shine oh so bright
