you are the earth beneath my feet

that holds me up in every single way.

you are the oceans of the world -

bringing life to the barren shores each day.

you are the sun, alive in the morning

and filling me up with light.

you are the single lone star in the sky

that illuminates in the dark of night.

you are the sound of a wind-sung breeze

calling my name closer to you.

you are the touch of the air

that whirls around me and through.

you are like an addiction -

a drug that doesn't stop;

you remind me of the broken streetlight

that flickers in my mind through the rooftops.

you are the clock ticking,

telling me i'm out of time -

however, in reality

i know you'll always be mine.

standing with your arms around me,

you make me feel like i'm whole.

now with my heart upon your sleeve,

you give me a feeling that i've never known.

but most of all, you are my world;

the world that i live to see.

without you,

there wouldn't even be me.
