From the moment I first beheld you
I knew
Not what, why or how, but who-you
It is true; It has always been you

When I heard you speak, recite poetry
I knew
Not what or why or how, but who-you
Young as we were its true; It has always been you

When you told me your truth, hung your head from my noose
I knew
Not why or how, barely what, but who-you
Through your pain you showed me
Unfortunately, its true; It has always been you

When I watched you in class, and time started to pass
I knew
Not why or how, but what and who-you
I ignored the teacher to focus on you
My grade did not thank me, but its true; It has always been you

When you went away and I was sad every day
I knew
Not why or how, but what and who-you
The hole in my heart was more than proof
I had fallen for you. Its true; It has always been you

When we lost contact and I didn't know how to react
I knew
Not why or how, still what and who-you
I was too scared to call and find out the truth.
If you missed me too. Its true. It has always been you.

When you were gone and I stopped focusing on you
I knew
What, why, how, and who-you
In time I grew to know the truth
It took so long to do, but its true. It has always been you.
