I didn't know
Didn't know that the world had color
For so long it's just been grey
And I hated it
There were splashes of color
Every once in a while
Like laughing with my best friends
Or winning a game
I didn't know
Didn't know that I could feel it
When he kissed me I felt nothing
When I looked at him it was empty
I didn't want to be close
But then I met you
And my heart burned when we kissed
Or locked eyes
I didn't know
Didn't know what love was
For so long I pretended
I followed suit with what I was told
I didn't know there was more out there
Until you showed me the world
And what it's like to be loved
Or what it's supposed to feel like
I didn't know
Didn't know I could miss you this much
Until you had to go away
And I had to stay back home
And count the days till I see you again
While my bones ache without you
And I feel you in all that I do
Or think about you constantly
I didn't know
Didn't know what I was missing
Because I never knew true happiness
Not until you came along
And became my best friend
And my whole world
So that I can't fathom life without you
Or I would be half of a person
I didn't know
Didn't know I could ever be this lucky
And find my person so early
But I needed you
And maybe you needed me too
I wouldn't take back a second with you
I want it all forever and always
Or as long as we both shall live
