How ?

HOW  ?


How did I live without knowing  you,
With no touch of fingers near,
And no loving whisper in my ear?

How slow the hours, years with you away,
Their feet with silent empty tread
Moving heavily as lead?

How did I mark the end of every  day,
But with a sigh so hollow,
And a distant dawn  to  follow?

Now   -  could I live without knowing you
And your voice and your hand
And  your soul and your love?
