can there be a flame with no fire?
can there be want
          with no desire?

can there be life without life,
life without love,
love without life?

can there be a cut without a knife?
             how deep could it be??
can there be argument with no strife?
                     what would cause he to yell at she?

can there be air with no oxygen?
can the lungs work when there is no you to breathe in?

can there be a life without you in it?
