If You Are Not Close To Me

If you are not close to me...... Can I start my day without you my love Your absence in my house dries me out I have become my own shadow in my house and its makes me to draw in a ocean of sadness Day after days and night after nights my thirst of love brings me nothing but tears I silently think you from a distance and I feel your love throws at me with helpless If the ocean were not in love then the waves will have no strength If the sun were not in love then the lights will have no brightness If the moon were not in love then the nights will have no romance If the wind were not in love then the music will have no voice So, my love if you were not close to me my life will be in dreary.

Such a wonderful romantic poem, and I love how you included the analogies to the moon, the sun, and the ocean, etc.
