The document describes how the narrator was transformed when someone came into their life. It provides multiple examples of how the narrator was previously lifeless, hopeless, or in a bad situation, but finding new meaning and purpose when this person entered their world. The narrator goes from being things like a dead ice cube, worthless stone, garbage, or tears in a bottle to becoming a flowing river, blossoming lotus, rising from the ashes, or source of happiness. In each case, the turning point is described as "it was only when you came into my life."
