What You Mean To Me

I can honestly say
There isn't a single day
Where I can seem to find
A moment you didn't cross my mind

If only I knew
How our feelings would grow so true
I would go back to the past
To cherish every moment and make it last

Now that the time has come and gone
It isn't real that it's all done
I can't believe this is all it'll ever be
I guess you'll never know what you mean to me

That first time we met is still crystal clear
When I think about it, it's hard not to shed a tear
Your sparkling eyes and perfect smile
Always made me want to stay a while

You were only just a friend
Something that is now hard to comprehend
Now I know deep down in my heart
We were never supposed to be split apart

You always made me so happy
And the reasons of my song choices being so sappy
I'll never forget how you held me tight
You would kiss my head and tell me it would be alright

Now that the time has come and gone
It isn't real that it's all done
I can't believe this is all it'll ever be
I guess you'll never know what you mean to me

Why does it have to be this way?
I still remember when you would say
"We still have time slow down"
When I think about that I can't help but frown

You're are beyond special
To me, you were an angel
If I knew about our limited time
I'd try and set us in rewind

When you first held my hand
It was better than I'd ever planned
It was perfect the way your hand fit in mine
The way our fingers intertwined

You were my last first kiss
Something I can't help but know and miss
I could feel my heart melt
At how wonderful I felt

Now that the time has come and gone
It isn't real that it's all done
I can't believe this is all it'll ever be
I guess you'll never know what you mean to me

Of course things weren't always the best
Our feelings were constantly put to the test
Between the jealousy, the secrets and lies
There were lots of challenges and compromise

But we would still beat strong
Because more times than not, nothing went wrong
You would remind me of that a lot
And how we were tied like a knot

Then you said what I wanted to hear
I wish you could say it to me every day of the year.
I love you
I knew with every ounce of me it was true

Now that the time has come and gone
It isn't real that it's all done
I can't believe this is all it'll ever be
I guess you'll never know what you mean to me

We were supposed to have our happy end
But I guess it's time to stop playing pretend
A time has come where we can't be together
Even though I always wished we'd be forever

The first time you broke my heart
Every piece of me was torn apart
But I knew that it couldn't be over
I never felt like there was any closure

The time that we weren't us
I could feel my heart rust
It hurt to hear your name
It was like the never ending nightmare game

Then it was all ok
It seemed to be fixed one day
I remember that one as the best overall
The day in the park. Just says it all

I never wanted to leave
That day made me believe
Believe once again in love and in you
And remember everything we'd been through

Now that the time has come and gone
It isn't real that it's all done
I can't believe this is all it'll ever be
I guess you'll never know what you mean to me

Then came the last days
We had to say goodbye and part ways
I cried but once again you held me close
We acknowledged that this has to be the way it goes

Kissing you the last time was the worst
It reminded me of everything since the first
But I knew it would be ok because this wasn't goodbye
We would see each other some other time

At the moment, everything flashed before my eyes
The good, the bad, the ugly and all the other ties
I wished so hard to never have to let go
But it just couldn't be so

Now that the time has come and gone
It isn't real that it's all done
I can't believe this is all it'll ever be
I guess you'll never know what you mean to me

Now I lay awake at night
Hoping things will turn out right
Wondering if you're thinking of me
Or you don't care and I chose not to see

You taught me so much
About laughter, smiles and a gentle touch
You taught me how to love and be loved back
Something I used to lack

You taught me that love is more than kisses and hugs
It's holding on when the other direction tugs
It's remembering that each day is a gift
And you should cherish it before you drift

Each and every day I think of you
And of all we used to do
Ever second, minute, hour, day
That you were mine and there to stay

Now that the time has come and gone
It isn't real that it's all done
I can't believe this is all it'll ever be
I guess you'll never know what you mean to me

I'll never stop loving you
I'll die before I do
Even if you don't feel the same way
That's alright. I'll understand. Ok?

I want you to know
That no matter what happens or where we go,
I am forever changed and grateful as much as I can be
Because of who you are and what you you meant to me.

So now that our time has come and I gone
And it still isn't real that it's all done
I can't stop but wonder if this is all it'll ever be
I hope someway, somehow you know just exactly what you mean to me
