Thoughts for the day: The girl that stands before you

Who would I be if I deleted you from my life?
Would I be gentler and more defined?
Who would I be if I deleted you from my life? 
Would I be happier and lovable and free from strife?

You're the boy who started to shape me,
You molded me and made me scared,
You showed me what love could be,
And I crumpled that love and tossed it in the recycling bin on the street,

Who would I be if I deleted you from my life?
Would I still be broken and guarded like a prisoner in a jail cell threatening everyone with a makeshift knife?

You're the boy who splashed my life with colors and made it sparkle in front of my eyes,
You're the boy who made me feel emotions I could never comprehend,
You're the boy who helped this girl love herself for the first time.

What would I be if I deleted you from my life?
Would I be the childish girl leaving destruction where I please?
What would I be if I deleted you from my life?
Would I be this girl who is motivated to succeed?

You're the boy who waited, 
You showed me patience and what love should be,
You're the boy who loved me,
When all I wanted to do was bleed,
You're the boy who smiled and showed me what happiness could be,
And yet, I was the girl who set you free.

Who would I be if I deleted you from my life?
Would I still be the girl that you deeply loved?
Who would I be if I deleted you from my life?
Would we both be free?

You're the boy who stood before me and handed me your heart in your hands,
And I'm the girl who was so in love with pain, that I sent you on your way,
Your heart in my hands.

You're the boy who moved away and you found happiness in a girl who knew what love was and now I'm standing in the past hoping the girl I was is gone. 

You're the boy who showed me what love could be, and I'm the girl who was in love with pain, that I stood in the darkness and I let you leave. 

Who would I be if you never existed, a love that could never be, would I still be the girl I was or a girl with bigger dreams?
