You Are
You are the sweet scent that drifts upon it
You are not the sounds that I hear,
You are the music of my life
You are not the food that I need,
You are the nourishment of my soul
You are not my will to survive,
You are my reason for living
/>
It is with you that I triumph over the challenges in my path
It is your partnership that will lead me to the fulfillment of my dreams
It is your friendship that guides me as I grow and learn
It is your patience and wisdom that calms my restless nature
It is through you that I know my true self
/>
I cherish you
I do not need you
I choose you
I choose you today in witness of all the people who love us
I choose you tomorrow in the privacy of our hearts
I choose you in strength and weakness
I choose you in health and sickness
I choose you in joy and sorrow
I will choose you, over all others, every day for all the days of my life
/>

this poem is missing the first line
You are not the air that I breathe,
You are the sweet scent that drifts upon it
You are not the food that I need,
You are the nourishment of my soul
You are not my will to survive
You are my reason for living
It is with you that I experience the wonders of the world
It is with you that I triumph over the challenges in my path
It is your partnership that will lead me
to the fulfillment of my dreams
It is your friendship that guides me
as I learn and grow
It is your patience and wisdom
that calms my restless nature
It is through you that I know my true self
I do not take you for granted, I cherish you
I do not need you, I choose you
I choose you today in witness of all the people who love us
I choose you tomorrow in the privacy of our hearts
I choose you in strength and weakness
I choose you in health and in sickness
I choose you in joy and sorrow
I will choose you, over all others,
every day for all the days of my life
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way. ~ Pablo Neruda
yeah I read it, and it seemed to be missing something. Love the lyrics though
Thanks Future. BTW, who would be the author of this poem?
Nice poem. I would change one line though, but I don't know what I would change it to. I don't want my man to think I don't need him.
[quote="FutureMsLee"]I do not need you, I choose you[/quote]
I know exactly what the author (whomever that is) means by this line. My FH and I went through a thing b4 because I am the 1st woman that he's been with that hasn't "needed" him financially. I kept telling him that its better to be with a person that chooses (or wants) to be with you vs a person the "needs" you. Once that needy person figures out they can do things for themselves or finds someone else who supplies their needs a little better they'll be gone. That one the chose you - they'll be there because there's no other place they WANT to be.
Thanks for dissecting it. It makes more sense now.
