My Life, My Soul

What does it mean when you would do almost anything to be in the presence of someone?

When you would push your body to its physical limits just to be a few miles nearer...

And you don't care if pieces of you give out because it was worth every step.

Embracing insomnia because it lets you feel your connection with their soul a few hours longer...

Almost feeling like being able to watch them sleep.

Feeling like an addict waiting for your next dose

When you are apart.

Your mind refusing to quiet 

Unless in their presence.

When their sadness makes you unbearably melancholy, 

and the urge to fix it gnaws at you until they smile once again.

Their thoughts and ideas are the only ones that matter anymore,

Everyone else is just background noise.

When their touch is the only thing that can bring your stubborn body to arousal,

So intense you feel almost drunk on it.

What does it mean when you know, if they left,

You wouldn't die, you would simply cease existing because your soul will follow,

Leaving behind an empty shell.

There will be no you without them.
