Love Poetry: Nothing Without You

by Paola Guerrero
(Tampa, Fl USA)

'To spend a second without you is to drown in misery
Don't expect me to leave, I have found true love and I will hold on with a tight grip.
I'll become a fighter and fight vigorously I will not quit, surrendering is not in me
Many want to destroy this, not understanding how two hearts can fit ideally
How two can sing the song of life with perfect harmony in the middle of uproar and difficulties
Trials have tested the love we claim to exist and we have survived triumphantly
We ran through the darts and climbed the obstacles that rose in adversity
We held each other's hands while others tried to pull us to separation
In the midst of desperation we fought and screamed tried to end things
Just to realize that without the other our lungs couldn't breath
Our heart couldn't beat and our soul couldn't subsist
You have no idea how my skin misses your skin
How my eyes cannot sleep, how my thoughts remind me of how beautiful it is to go to sleep with you beside me.
A fairy tale, something more than a dream
I miss your strong arms holding me, your voice quietly speaking to me, your chest being the perfect pillow for me.
I had heaven for that weekend with you
Now life doesn't seem to be all it can be, I feel cheated not having you with me, 24/7 is not enough for me.
You are my life support, I was created for you and you were created for me
To share 'goodnights' and 'good mornings' with you my prince
FOREVER is what I wish, eternity is what I seek, infinity is what I plead, anything less just doesn't cut it.

What do you say let me be your wife, your queen, your EVERYTHING'
