Would I Survive

What would I do if you left Took all our dreams away We have become one Would I then be half a man A shadow of my former self who would remember our stories Finish my thoughts Be the completion of me You are the sunshine that lights my soul Would I survive the darkness I could seek comfort in the arms of another Still their's would not be your arms, your lips They would not know the rhythm of me My body and mind could not fully be free These thoughts are too hard to contemplate So I will put them away For I know who you are You will not rip yourself away Love is made to last You are my present future and past Embodiment of dreams coming true Although I'm still me I am part of you So in the end you have all of me I give you my trust My smiles The best and worst of me Both without fear You will not run away We still have places to go Beaches to walk Dances to dance I am mesmerized by you You are the best part of me I will always belong to you I know you will not go away

This is lovely Richard and as long as people are not abused or taken for granted I can't imagine why anyone would risks loosing a sweet person like you. Very sweet.....Donna

I really hope you have given this poem to your significant other! This poem is too grand to not be shared! I am honored to have had the opportunity to read such a splendid write!

What a spectacular poem, Great Work!!
