• 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.
