Glad I Felt It

I'm glad I felt it

I can say
I've been completely swept away
Soared on cloud nine with only happy thoughts of a special someone
Had days that were filled with a whirlwind of just smiles and giggles
Perfect moments I never wanted to end
Where everything felt right in the world
And I was exactly where I was supposed to be

I can say
I've been the one--girl a guy though he couldn't live without
I've felt like I was the most important part of someone's world
Having someone treat me like I was the most beautiful, wonderful person alive
Never doubting it
Knowing every single little thing I said or did intimately mattered to someone
And they loved me and would do anything in the world for me

I can say
I've had days where everything went wrong
And just a voice or the sight or a touch from one person could make it all better
I've had someone who knew how to say the perfect thing exactly when you needed to hear it
Just like magic
I couldn't last a minute without thinking of that person

I've been a "we" and an "us"--a "team"
Where nothing else felt real unless they were part of it
Where going through life and growing was a process together
I've felt so close to another person where you feel as if nothing could feel better
And nothing could ever break that bond
I've been comfortable being able to be myself knowing I'd be loved the same no matter what

I can say
I made decisions with all my heart and no logical thought
Was willing to risk and endure anything for them
Been so connected that when they hurt I felt it too as if it were your own
Been willing to give anything in the world to take away their pain
Done insane things in the name of love
Missed someone to the point where I felt like I wouldn't be able to last the time I had to wait to see them
Had that feeling of overwhelming nervousness and excitement before seeing someone, even if you've known them for years

I can say
I've witnessed it all unravel
I've been destroyed and heartbroken
Not knowing if I could make it through another minute of the pain
I 've discovered intense emotions I never even knew existed
Done and said things I never would have
I've felt betrayed, shunned, used, abused

I can say
I had such faith that it would work and we would make it
That I fought for it with everything in me
Recognized the times when love wasn't enough
I've seen a chasm form between two people
Where people in love for so long and have been through so much
Didn't even know each other anymore
And couldn't for the life of them figure out how it all began or how they got to that point
Where no matter how much money, time, words, caring, or pure effort was expended
Things would never be the way that they were
And would never make it to that goal of when everything became right

I've lived all the things of love
The movies, novels, and songs are made of
All the passionate emotion
Of being hopelessly in love
The kind where nothing matters
Except for the two of you
And the rest of the world just melts away
Where you felt like you'd rather die than be without them
And give anything at all to get them back

I 'm not sure everyone has felt all of this
But I'm glad I've felt it all
