I’m Alive, But not Living

When we’re apart, my days are long and cold,
I’m alive but not living, a story untold.
My heart beats, yet it yearns for your touch,
In your absence, I miss you so much.

The sun may rise, the birds may sing,
But without you, it doesn’t mean a thing.
I walk, I talk, I breathe, I strive,
But without you, I merely survive.

Your laughter is the melody that soothes my soul,
Your love is the magic that makes me whole.
With every sunrise, with every sighing dove,
I’m reminded of your encompassing love.

So come back to me, make my world bright,
Turn my darkness into radiant light.
For it’s with you, my life truly begins,
You’re the song that makes my heart sing.

So here I am, waiting, yearning, giving,
For it’s with you, I’m not just alive, I’m living.
