You and love are one and the same
To know one is to know the other’s name.
If I erase you from the corners of my mind,
The meaning of love I’ll never find.
If love no longer dwells in my heart,
Then you, too, fade and fall apart.
Without love’s light, you lose your place
A nameless shadow, a forgotten face.
Casting out all softness and grace
Banishes you from my heart’s embrace.
With tenderness gone and gentleness shed,
You drift away, like words unsaid.
