Notes About The Poem

I wrote this for the love of my life. Not trying to say how beautiful she is, but just how much I need her. Rough draft and a five minute write. I'm sure I will edit and change a lot, but wanted to post as is for now. Thnx for reading. Please leave feed back.

With You

Life without you
Has no dreams to come true
Without you,
Life carries no tune
Without you,
I'm cold and roaming alone 
Without you,
I've no place that's a home
But when you walk in the room and you whisper my name
My dreams come to life
And the song plays again 
I can live . . .
I can live . . . 
I'm alive . . .
Without you,
There's no gleam in my eye
Without you,
I have no reason why
Without you,
I am nothing at all and I can't even crawl
Without you,
I haven't a heart beat at all
Without you,
I am simply slowly dying
There's not a melody there's not a rhyme,
But when you walk in the room and you whisper my name
My dreams come to life
And the song plays again 
I can live . . .
I can live . . . 
I can see . . .
Your love gives meaning to me
I can breathe . . .
I can breathe . . .
There's no mystery hidden from me,
I can touch
I can feel
With you there's no place in my heart that's not healed
When you whisper my name 
My dreams come to life 
And the song plays again 
I can live . . . 
I can live . . .
Yet you ask nothing from me 
With one look from your eye I can breathe . . .
I can breathe
With you I am finally free
I can live . . .
I can live . . .
I can breathe 
With you I can clearly see
Everything I'm meant to be
And with you that's good enough . . .
For me
