Never Here

You were never here
But you were
In my mind and in my heart
It was everything that I thought it could be
Everything that I thought it should be
You made me what I have always wanted to become.

You were never here
But you stole my heart
You made me feel like I've never felt
Made me think like I've never thought
I loved you even though you were never here
I love the times we never had.

You were never here
But I shared everything I had
It was all I ever wanted
It was all I ever needed
Everything that I hoped it would be
You made me greater than I am.

You were never here
But I always wanted you to be
I could have been so wonderful
I could have been so proud
Made me feel like I was worth a damn
Made me worthy of this world.

You were never here
But I needed you to be
You would have been my greatest pleasure
You would have been my greatest love
Instead, you live in my dreams
A figment of my reality.

You were never here
But I prayed that you would
A link to something special
A piece of something great
Instead, you are just a thought
A wish never meant to come true.
