They say love is just a feeling-
I hardly think that’s true.
For that could not do justice-
The way I feel toward you.

Just a mere emotion-
That like a fleeting breath…
Is here, then gone forever
Just a harbinger of death.

You are like my heartbeat-
Intrinsic part of life
It never could do justice-
To merely call you “wife”.

Like a day without a sunrise-
A night bereft of stars-
A park that has no children-
A freeway without cars.

It is more than being lonely-
Far worse than merely fear-
No worse fate to imagine-
Than you not being here.
