Before You Met Her-Robin Jackson

We wrote down all that times the we Cried into each other’s arms Broken moments, broken promises Didn’t break us apart I held you in the dark that night We didn’t want to to give up the fight That lingered there between our lips Since the very start Sometimes the hardest moments Are the ones that make you stronger When you think you’re falling But you’re falling close together And when it’s time to say goodbye You know that you are better Than the person that you were before you met her The story that we thought would be Turned into a eulogy The words we spoke a bitter smoke of truth upon the tongue I offered you a garnet red And laid my heart around your head a symbol of remembrance to never be undone Sometimes the hardest moments Are the ones that make you stronger When you think you’re falling But you’re falling close together And when it’s time to say goodbye You know that you are better Than the person that you were before you met her Oooo, Ooooo With every tear we wrote a poem Of all the times that brought us home The love within the struggle We found a warm embrace Like the lilies midnight bloom The comfort of the lonely moon The light within the darkness Was our saving grace Sometimes the hardest moments Are the ones that make you stronger When you think you’re falling But you’re falling close together And when it’s time to say goodbye you pause while you remember The moment that you met her As you moved her through the music And the phases of the weather As she broke and then rebuilt you With the words within her letters And you found what mattered most In the ways you grew together And when it’s time to say goodbye You know that you are better Than the person that you were before you met her
