If Not For You

If not for you, I wouldn’t know

What true love meant.

I’d never feel this inner peace;

I couldn’t be content.

If not for you, I’d never have

The pleasures of romance.

I’d miss the bliss, the craziness,

Of love’s sweet, silly dance.

I have to feel your tender touch;

I have to hear your voice;

No other one could take your place;

You’re it; I have no choice.

If not for you, I’d be adrift;

I don’t know what I’d do;

I’d be searching for my other half,

Incomplete, if not for you.
