YOU ARE

You are the one that drives me insane,

But there’s no reason to speak your name.

I could shout your name near and far,

But there’s no need, you know who you are.

You are the blood when I bleed.

You are the air when I breathe.

You are the food when I eat.

You are the earth beneath my feet.

You are the tear when I cry.

You are the question when I ask why.

You are the smile when I sleep.

You are the charm that I keep.

I know you know that this is for you.

It’s the only thing I know to do.

You are my eyes when I see.

You are the honey from the bees.

You are the life in my soul.

You are the diamonds from the coal.

You are the left to my right.

You are the meek, to my might.

You are the lyrics to my song.

You are the right, when I do wrong.

You are the up to my down.

You are what makes my world go around.

You are the light when all I see is dark.

You are a flame when all I need is a spark.

If I could pray for something that I most want to come true.

I would pray that you know this poem, and this love is all for you.
