I didn't want to love you,
but your light
penetrated all the barriers I erected
and reached deep inside my heart
to set my world aglow.
You inspired bliss like I'd never known
and made me hear the music again.
Not a minute escapes me
without thoughts of you.
I didn't want to need you,
but after I saw your face,
I've never stopped thinking about you,
and I crave your nearness,
yearn to wrap you in my arms
and press your body close to mine.
I didn't want to need you,
but imagining life without you
is unbearable.
How dark and grim would be the days;
how long and stark would be the nights.
Even heaven-sent angels
would be unable to replenish
the spark of life
in my soul.
