in my life,
there's never been a you
there's only been a me
and he's been looking
for that you
from his very first day
I thought that he had found you
in her or she or her
but, they weren't you
and so, he kept looking
and I kept trying
hearing your voice in my dreams
telling me that
          you were looking for him too
and that I would know
          when you touched his heart

but, you were still only a
          dream that he had
a wish that I had made
then one day, you came to him
and I saw you as an angel
          the keeper of his dreams
but, you were quick to tell him
          that you were no angel
you had made your own mistakes in life

but, that was past
and, even though you had fallen
          you were still an angel in his eyes
and I loved you for accepting
          his own shortcomings and my own mistakes

you took me into your heart
          and gave him a home
and I loved you for the
          life that you gave
for the love that you gave
a love that saved him
from a lonely existence
          and a life of sorrow

so, now he's found you
and I have your heart
and both of us
          couldn't be happier
that we finally found you

To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world.

I would ask who inspired you, but you have such a fertile imagination, I believe you probably just plucked this one out of your pocket!  This, Sir, is excellent!
