Breath Of Life

You were always there
Whenever I needed you
Through good times and bad

We shared our lives for years
Heartache and turmoil
As well as joy and happiness

You helped me to discover
Parts of me I had not known
Until after I met you

You taught me to enjoy life
Indeed, you gave me life
Life I needed so desperately

My soul was broken
Decaying and in shambles
And then there you were

I needed you then
As I need you now
To help repair my soul

Broken once again
Decaying and in shambles
I need you

I do not know
If I will ever again be able
To fall in love

I have never known love
As strong, as pure
As the love I shared with you

You have seen parts of me
That no one else, not even myself
Ever knew existed

I do, however, realize
That never will I, for the rest of my life
Allow myself to fall in love again

For it is you
You are the only one
Worthy of the love I possess

You are irreplaceable
No one can come close
To giving me what you gave me

Years may pass
You may have a new life
One that does not include me

You may forget me
But be assured
I will never forget you

For you gave me new life
You alone are responsible
For what I have become

Before you, I was confused
Lonely, despondent
You changed that

Your loving embrace
Was a breath of new life
Resuscitating a lifeless being

If you should return
I will once again be whole
You give me life

You were always there
Whenever I needed you
And I need you now.
