Love Without Hope

Love without hope, just how I seem to live
Sunken won't float, but now I dream you give
A purpose to life, no longer on my own
I propose my wife, we're stronger than alone.

Thanks a lot Linda, although after re-reading it, I see I let a little hope sneak through, so it should have been disqualified really!

Cheers Teddy, it was quite a challenge to stick to one verse because I usually waffle for a lot more lines.

Thanks for the placement and setting up the contest in the first place, although I did slightly deviate from the topic, but I was in one of those rare hopefully moods.

Thanks, and I was pleased to read that comment because the contest setter had mentioned it was quite difficult to pack a lot into 4 lines.
