What would I do without you, my love?
To be there to dry my tears
And care about me
Even after all of this.
To show up without fail
Every time I need the comfort of your presence.
Just to know you breathe,
To remind myself that you live
Under the same sky
Upon the same soil
In the same whirring time
As I do
Comforts me,
Calms my frantic heart,
In a way like prayer.
What in the world would I do
On sad nights like this
If I did not have your steadying love
To pull me through?
My taken, far away, constant,
Impossible love.
Thank you for never truly leaving me.
Because what in the world
Would I do without you?
