An Existence To Believe In

There was a time.
A moment if you will.
When my dreams meant more to me then anything.
Passion defined me.
Who I was.
What I was.
If these things were
not embraced.
Acted upon.
This life. My life.
Would mean nothing.
A hollow shell that
to many of us share.
Then you came along.

Over the course of
time you brought
change.
Change to me.
Change to my existence.
Once I based my life
on dreams.
Yet now
thanks to you
the people around
me matter far
more.
