One Without the Other

Have you ever thought of black without white?
To see the confusion of day absent of night

Sitting on a warm beach without the sea
Sunset with no horizon, how difficult it would be?

What it would be like to have good times without bad?
Being eternally happy but having never felt sad

Frustrating, holding an answer to a question never unveiled 
To have love without you, it will be destined to fail 

Everything in life must be paired in some way
That is why I love you to this very day

So to think of me with out you here, it's a lonely idea
I must be brave in life, but not until I felt fear

If I love you so much, where is the opposed effect?
Maybe in another lifetime I will feel the reject

Great couplets with rhyme and rhythm. The topic is an excellent one with much descriptiveness and expressiveness of your love for that special one. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
