YOU


To live without you would be like living without water.

I thirst for your love almost every hour.

When I look into your eyes I see how green the earth is.

But it’s your smile that makes my love deepen.

 

I never knew how much I needed you.

Until the day I realized I would no longer see you.

I tried and I tried and I tried to do this alone.

Until I realized you are truly my home.

 

Without you I am broken and torn apart

With you, I have a cure for my broken heart.

I have loved you always as you have loved me

But now I realize that I need you to breathe.
