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 that 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.
