No lie, I'd be in grave trouble, Should you slip far out of sight. That's why I need you to hold me close. I'm afraid I'd be incomplete, if you disengage. Imagine how Shirley would feel without Laverne? Or Colombo without his overcoat? Never let me go, or you'd render me Lifeless, because life is in your every kiss. You're bald eagle carrying all of hope on its wings, And if you soar far out of view... You'd leave me none to cling to. What good is a bloomed rose Deserted by bees, birds and butterflies? I plead that you don't forsake me Because you're the nectar for all of life! Hold steadfastly to me, I implore. If you unwrap your tight embrace, I'll no longer Hear the sound of your breath, or feel Your heartbeats; now you see, my love... Why I can't do without you? Submitted for...
