Reason to Live

When I am  sad you are there to wipe my tears.

When I am afraid you are there to allay my fears.

You are an angel that takes away my pain,

I await you like a desert waits for rain.

I've always believed angels to be invulnerable,

Immortals with reasons for happiness innumerable.

Now that I know you, I know its not true,

Because angels can be unhappy; angels can bleed too.

I know I can come to you when I am down,

You'll be there to help me without a frown.

You'll always be there, to listen and understand me.

I care for you as much as you care for me.

I think of you each morning when I rise,

I think of you when I close my eyes,

Your thoughts occupy my mind whole day long,

With each passing moment my feelings grow strong.

For you see, each day I love you so much more,

Today more than yesterday and tomorrow even more.

What I need to live the earth can give me,

But the reason to live only you can give me.
