As We Live Our Lives Away

She is the vapor in my breath where I am just the mist
She is the cloud in my head where I am just the dream
She is the reason where I am just the existence
She is the soul where I am just the body
She is the light where I am just the shadow
She is the vessel where I am just the fragile

She is the scream caught in my throat
The tear I refuse to shed
She is the why to my question and the answer
The question I refuse to ask
She is my future and will be my past
The now I refuse to leave behind
She is my comfort and my joy
The reason there is a smile on my face

I love her more each day as we live our lives away.

Dear friend,

What I like the most about this intense write, is that I feel it's written for someone not with you anymore, and this is your way to communicate with her. Far away in places, or lucid places, ;) but connected... so beautiful, and heartfelt!!!

It funny you say that because it is both for someone whom isn't with me anymore and for someone who is. Thank You so much for this heartfelt review...!

You're very welcome always!

It's funny the amount of things we can compare towards our loved ones, especially when we look at them as greater than us, as I feel you are representing in this poem. Don't stop loving. ~Never Forget

As I never will and never have...! Thank you very much, you are right on the money because I have always viewed my fiance as greater than myself, not just a help mate. And by no means a lessor person...!

Thank you so much. Ironically enough, this is the toughest kind of poetry for me to write...!
