If you should ever leave me,
I fear that life would become
An empty hole, devoid of purpose,
And my existence in such a life
Would be completely hopeless.
I would surely go insane
If I were to face life alone,
For only your love drives me
With purpose through each day.
I could not ever be happy
In a world without you, or love,
So there would be no point
In trying to continue at all,
For you are my life.
