Because of you

I awake each day with a smile

And greet it with a laugh;

The world is a treasure to me

Because of you.

You make me melt into a puddle

 of complete helplessness

you have become my every waking thought

 and my every dream at night

I breathe in so hard

Trying to catch my breath

 when we can't talk

I close my eyes so tight

 Hoping when I open them you will be there

I took your love for granted,

Could not see through my blind eyes,

I did not know how much I loved you,

Now, in pain, I realize.

You must have stumbled across the key,

and discovered so much more.

 You found a hidden place in me,

you found my heart and opened the door.

 And I cried in pain of losing my dear friend.

Well, now,

if little by little you stop loving me

I shall stop loving you little by little

My love bleeds out for you,

But can you  patch it up before I become an empty shell,

Will you be able to fill me back up again,

Or will I finally be drained, fall, and shatter.

Will it ever be the same again?

 If it passes will it be the end?

 I realized it was worth so much,

as I lie in bed that night.

So I allowed my soul to be touched,

without even putting up a fight.

Then again,

I lay awake each night

With a tear in my eye

A dreaded thought in my mind

Because of you
