Without You, Something is Missing

I know we have had problems.
Occasionally, we argue.
To cheat or to try to replace me… is wrong.
But I like to think those people lie.
I know who you are; Honest.
You care and understand me, because I matter to you.


In a room full of people, I see you.
The sound of your nervous laughter, a pleasure to me.
With your two ears, you have an interest in the words I speak.


It’s February, I think of you.
Look, I’m here. I have been for a number of years.
I commit to you. You want to do the right thing.
No matter what, I want a future with you;
To spend day after day after day, with you.
Without you, something is missing.


You’re the best I’ve ever had and will ever have.
If I’m right about you, I can tell you;
My love for you will remain the same.
