if i had to exist

in a world that you didn’t,

that’s exactly what I would do;

exist.

time would have no moments of pausing,

of appreciating the moment.

living would have no value because it’s you

that makes me live.

like a poet, you’re an artist

whose words have forever

been imprinted in my mind.

you’ve shown me a world

full of beautiful beginnings

and i cherish the hope

that when the end comes,

we get to see it together.

i haven’t known you my whole life,

but i hope to call you mine for the rest of it,

for life without you

would be a world absent of art.
