Without You

You are music, laughter and voice
   to my ear.
     Without you, I am deaf.
You are light, movement and colors
   to my eyes.
     Without you, I am blind.
You are spices, chocolate and truffles
   to my tongue.
     Without you, I cannot taste.
You are wine, perfume and fresh fallen rain
   to my nose.
     Without you, I cannot smell.
You are the fire, the blanket and shelter
   against my winter.
     Without you, I am cold.
You are the stars, the sextant and navigator
   to my ship at night.
     Without you, I am lost.
You are the sun, the earth and rain
   to my flower in spring.
     Without you, I wither.
You are all the other and missing pieces
   to my puzzle.
     Without you, I am not complete.
You are the smile, the laugh and happiness
   to the mirror of my soul.
     Without you, I am shattered.
You are with me every moment of every day.
   Why do I miss you so?
