Now I realize…. by lea You were my world; Now I realize that my world forgot to have me in it; You were my hope for happiness and security; Now I realize that happiness and security comes from within; You were light into the darkness of my heart; Now I realize you frequently brought my heart darkness; You were my best friend; Now I realize that best friends are forever; You were my family; Now I realize that you were an outsider all along; You were my dream come true; Now I realize that my dreams go far beyond you; You were my hero; Now I realize that hero’s don’t quit when times get tough; You were my new beginning; Now I realize that a wonderful new life is ahead without you.
