ME

By Steve Riggle

I was me before there was a you

Before there was an us

Before there was a we.

I was me before I was me.

Before you were you.

before we were we.

where I was beautiful

I am still.

where I was brave

I am more.

where I was weak

I am stronger.

You do not destroy me.

I decide that.

You do not own me.

I am myself.

I was me before there was a you

And there I will be me long after you've gone
