There’s no me without you.
No blood without a heart,
thought without a mind,
breath without lungs,
and touch without skin.
And no love without light.

I do like this one. It has a lovely balance to the lines and a lilting rhythm.

Quite true when one’s into that sort of thing (the love thing, I mean), but that last line left me with a whole string of ???? Don’t some people make love in the dark? 🙂 I’m just being facetious, it isn’t meant literally… is it?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Not literal, no. It’s more of an empty feeling without the ‘light’ of the other half. 💕

You caught me with the first line. That’s essentially how I feel about my wife. I couldn’t imagine my life without here and don’t know who I’d be without her. I definitely wouldn’t be me, that’s for sure.

Aw, that’s such a lovely notion. You should share this with her, if it’s how you feel. I bet she’d appreciate it. 😊 I feel the same way about my husband.
