more

she has been by my side

for more than half her life,

she has been my lover,

my best friend,

the part of me that has

allowed for survival

in a world so dark

and lost;

she is my strength,

my foundation,

I need her

like the dawn

needs the sun,

like the night

needs the moon,

the light which

guides the way;

if I could,

I would give her

more;

words cannot say

what her and I have,

nor can they replace

this life we have shared,

she builds me up when

I am down,

she continues to believe

in us when I give her

no reason;

if I could,

I would give her

more.
