Before You

Before you, I was unseen
Then you looked at me with those dazzling blue eyes, and I was seen.
Before you, I was numb
Then you smiled at me, and I came alive.
Before you, I had no interest
Then you ran your fingers through your hair, and I became a molten puddle on the floor.
Before you, I didn't think it could happen to me
Then you said my name, and my heart gave way.
Before you, I was cold inside
Then you touched my skin, and my core began to burn.
Before you, I'd given up.
Then I met you, and I knew I'd never be the same.
Now that I've met you, I'm new.
