If Not For You

If Not For You


If not for you, I wouldn’t know
What true love really meant.
I’d never feel this inner peace;
I couldn’t be content.


If not for you, I’d never have
The pleasures of romance.
I’d miss the bliss, the craziness,
Of love’s sweet, silly dance.


I have to feel your tender touch;
I have to hear your voice;
No other one could take your place;
You’re it; I have no choice.


If not for you, I’d be adrift;
I don’t know what I’d do;
I’d be searching for my other half,
Incomplete, if not for you.
