Before You

 Before you...

It started with a sweet, candy-coated crush,

a tender first kiss beneath the falling snow.

A nervous anticipation, a precarious truth or dare.

A first dance, and an "our" first song,

Before you...

 It started with a first date, a first car ride home.

a stolen moment of lost innocence.

A broken heart, a betrayal

An end of him and I. 

Before you...

 It started with an offer to go to dinner with a new crush,

a possibility rendered simply endless.

A circumstance beyond control.

A separation both amicable; respectable.

Before you...

It started with a overwhelming feeling of lust,

A loss of sanity; a feeling beyond logical reasoning. 

A severely broken heart,

An opportunity to grow. 

Before you...

It started with a journey of 1300 miles,

A sense of hope, a friendship that changed overnight.

An unexpected goodbye.

A new found happiness. 

Before you...

There was a plan, a promise set in stone.
