You

Growing with you I find myself growing as not only a part of me but as a part of you
For I am affected not only by myself but by everything you do as well
Sharing my life with you and becoming such an important part of your life is beyond every dream
I love each part of you, everything that forms one to become you
I love how happy and complete I am when I am with you, and even when apart
How strange it seems though to be so far away
For I became so much more a part of you when we were together
Yet here I am lonely and alone once again, and I find I don’t know how to be without you
Funny before I saw you again, I had perfected your absence, the lack of your being
But then I had it, I had you once again in my arms, and I find now without you I am lost
