Author's Notes: I composed this piece while giving due consideration to the passionate and surprising effect brought on by that little chubby, winged infant named "Cupid," who in world of mythology is known as the God of Love. In Roman mythology he was named "Amor," and in Greek mythology he was called "Eros." Regardless, everyone or nearly everyone has, at one time or another, felt that amorous sensation of one of Cupid's arrows hitting home when they meet the person they end up falling in love with. That, after all, is one very important aspect of life which can make a person's life both interesting and worthwhile -- as long as that person is the right one. (Gary Bateman - September 30, 2014) (Lyric poetic format)

I can’t make it without you Baby— When I hold you in my arms, I feel so good like a man Whose favorite dream is fulfilled. I can’t imagine living otherwise— When we caress each other, I know that our love is real And that no other can ever be. I can’t live without— Your touch . . . Your feeling . . . Your laughter . . . Your love. To me dearest one you are all-consuming And will always forever be a part of my soul and my existence. I can’t make it without you Baby— When I hold you in my arms, I feel so good like a man Whose favorite dream is fulfilled. Like a man whose favorite dream is fulfilled.
