What Would I do?

What would I do?
If you suddenly went away.
Would I be able go on?

What would I do?
If one day you did not love me.
Would I be able to exist?

What would I do?
If you no longer wanted me
Could I live with the ache inside?

What would I do?
Not having your warm embrace
Would I freeze in the cold lonely night?

What would I do?
Without your sweet whispers of love?
Would I go deaf to the world?

What would I do?
If I could not see your face.
Would I go blind to all beauty?

What would I do?
If I had to be all alone again
Would I survive without your love to save me?

All questions that I hope you never have to answer.  Tis a rough road in loss of love and can be the most confusing and overwhelming times in our lives.  You have penned this well and I truely hope you never come back to us with the answers.

        I hope with all my heart that you never have to find the answers to those questions.  I enjoyed the beauty of this bittersweet poem, and I do know the answers.


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

Mark - Thank you. Hopefully I will not be able to answer these questions, I suppose time will tell.

Sunny - I'm so sorry that unfortunately you know the answers. I thought I knew answers... but I also realized I have never truely been in love until now. Thank you for stopping in to read.

JnR4eva - Thank you for stopping by and for the compliment.  If it makes you think then I guess I did my job well.
