Without You

I no I shouldn't think like this,
Its not how it should be.
I really shouldn't hurt this much
Its clearly not meant to be.

If loving you was easy 
I'd have given up the fight.
But the fact that I cant have you
makes me need you in my life.

Its an endless battle,
Surviving just about.
The pain that creeps in to my bones
makes me unable to go without.

Holding you in my arms so tight,
Never wanting to let go..
listening to your heart beat
what your thinking I'l never know.

But all you asked was for a friend
and nothing else you'll have.
I can never be the one
that you want to hold your hand.

I don't know how I can let you go
or change where my heart does lie.
All i know is that without you
my heart would break in time.

Its scary how this could happen
because its you and me.
For this buried deep dark secret 
keeps me from you & you from me. 

Without you I am nothing.
Together we rule the world.
But theres things I will never tell you
Because without you...

Theres no me.

Sad write from a heart that is hurting or just a topic of pain about a lost love. Keep the magical pen flowing. Welcome to soup and soup friends. Sara

I read somewhere Rebecca that if you love someone enough you'd let them go and if they were meant to be in your life they'd return. Not the exact words but close. Sad nevertheless, a good job! Peace, love, Audrey
