They said there was a me before you, and a me after,
But I'm starting to think they were wrong, or maybe they didn't know.
Now that you're gone, I'm searching for the me I knew,
But she's nowhere to be found.

All this time, I thought I missed your loving embrace,
But now I realize, I miss the me I lost in your place.
The memories we made, the love we used to share,
Are just reminders of the me that's no longer there.

Your presence rewrote me, a chapter unseen.
I lost myself in the pages of our book.
But now, in the silence, I'm searching to regain
The pieces of me that I left in the pain.

I miss the laughter, the spark in my eyes
The hope and the dreams that I left to demise
I miss the strength that I once knew so well
The confidence that faded.

The truth they left out is that the me after you,
Is a changed soul, forever altered, forever true.
I'm not the same person, my heart beats to a different drum,
The me I knew is lost, and I'm left to become.
