It was you

It always will be you

It was you when we met

It was you when we ended

It was you when I went away to college

It was you when I got engaged

It was you when I ended things

It was always you

I tried to find you

In everyone else

But no one

Ever came close

It was still you when you got married

It was still you when you had a son

I’m afraid it will always be you

Even if you remarry

Even if we’re 40

Even if we’re 50

Even if we’re old and gray

I’m afraid

It will always be you

I’m so afraid

You’ll even be dead and gone one day

And it will still be you

I don’t know how

For it not to be you
