If you asked me how I feel about you,
I'd tell you,
You're my world,
The reason I'm still breathing,
The explanation for my existence,
And the love of my life,
If you asked me why I love you,
I'd tell you,
You're my soul,
With you I feel safe,
And I'm not concerned about the future,
Just as long as you'll be in it,
If you asked me about forever,
I'd tell you,
That I want you,
That I need you,
And I never want to lose you,
If you asked me to never leave you,
I'd tell you,
I have no other choice,
I can't live without you,
Nor do I want to,
Because I love you.

I wrote this for my ex-boyfriend for our three month anniversary. This piece is very special to me.
