If Not For You

If Not For You 

By: Cody Duckworth

If not for you I wouldn't know

What true love really meant,

I would never feel this inner peace

I couldn't be content.

If not for you I would never have

The pleasures of romance,

I would miss the bliss and craziness

Of loves sweet colorful dance.

I have to feel your tender touch

I have to hear your voice,

No other one could take your place

You're it I have no choice.

If not for you I would be adrift

I don't know what I would do,

I would be searching for my other half

Incomplete if not for you.

Our love is the long lasting kind

We've been together quite awhile,

I love you for so many things

Your voice, your touch, your kiss, your smile.

You accept me as I am

I can relax and just be me,

Even when my quirks come out

You think they're cute you let me be.

With you there's nothing to resist

You're irresistible to me,

I'm drawn to you in total trust

I give myself to you willingly.

Your sweet devotion never fails 

You view me with a patient heart,

You love me dear no matter what

You've been that way right from the start.

These are just a few reasons why

I'll always love you like I do,

We'll have a lifetime full of love

And it wouldn't have happened if not for you.

You're one in a million my most special one

Your radiant smile is as bright as the sun,

Your smart and caring and have many great charms

And my heart truly sings when you're wrapped in my arms.

I'm happy you chose me from all the rest

And I'm proud because I know that you know me the best,

You're so cute and sweet and you shine like a pearl

I just love you so much my most wonderful girl.

I just want you to know that

No matter what we go through,

I'm thankful for it

Because I wouldn't have gotten to experience if not for you.
