If you are the very reason that I awake From a deep and torturous slumber every morning; If you are the rays of light to my sun; If you are the goosebumps to my low temperature; If you are the skin of the apple that I had for lunch on Wednesday; If you are the soles of my shoes; If you are the dust underneath my bed that is really just dead, old skin; If you are the breath of life that a lifeguard gives a drowning victim; If you are the fire coursing through my veins making its way into my heart; If you are the demon and angel on my shoulders, Bickering about my choosing the road less traveled by; If you are the pen to my poetry; If you are the frostbite left on my fingers from waiting out in the cold too long For you to come back; If you are the edge of a butterfly's wings flapping past me aiming for my palms; If you are the love of my life; Then what am I? The right answer, is I Am Everything To Myself And Nothing To You.

What You Are To Me vs What I Am To Myself
If you are the very reason that I awake From a deep and torturous slumber every morning; If you are the rays of light to my sun; If you are the goosebumps to my low temperature; If you are the skin of the apple that I had for lunch on Wednesday; If you are the soles of my shoes; If you are the dust underneath my bed that is really just dead, old skin; If you are the breath of life that a lifeguard gives a drowning victim; If you are the fire coursing through my veins making its way into my heart; If you are the demon and angel on my shoulders, Bickering about my choosing the road less traveled by; If you are the pen to my poetry; If you are the frostbite left on my fingers from waiting out in the cold too long For you to come back; If you are the edge of a butterfly's wings flapping past me aiming for my palms; If you are the love of my life; Then what am I? The right answer, is I Am Everything To Myself And Nothing To You.
