I can't live without you.

I would breathe the air,

and my heart would beat,

but I would not feel the joy of life.

My dreams would be lost

like a leaf carted away by a storm.

I would gaze at the stars

without appreciating the

way they light up the sky.

I would pass the roses in bloom

without noticing their beauty.

I would no longer look forward

to each sunset and each dawn.

I would be broken,

never to be mended again.

Winter would own my heart;

its icy breath would steal

the warmth in my soul,

because I could not smile

without your love.

I could not know laughter

or happiness.

If you were lost to me,

I'd have no reason to try,

no reason to be.

You are my prayer,

my shelter from

hopelessness and despair,

my sunshine, my light,

my lazy days,

my peaceful nights,

and only you can keep the

spark in my soul burning bright.
