If Not For You

If Not For You

If not for you, I wouldn’t know
What true love really meant.
I’d never feel this inner peace;
I couldn’t be content.

If not for you, I’d never have
The pleasures of romance.
I’d miss the bliss, the craziness,
Of love’s sweet, silly dance.

I have to feel your tender touch;
I have to hear your voice;
No other one could take your place;
You’re it; I have no choice.

If not for you, I’d be adrift;
I don’t know what I’d do;
I’d be searching for my other half,
Incomplete, if not for you.

I walked by you in the hall..

I walked by you in the hall today.
You didn't see me but I saw you.
A small part of my heart felt dismay.
But I know, you don't have a clue.

He doesn't care about me.
I was nothing to him.
And as I stare blankly,
The lights in my mind go dim.
