I could count all the stars in the sky,

And write every word and phrase in the English language,

And that still would not amount to the love I have for you.

 

No measure of inanimate objects,

Or explanation of my deepest thoughts could describe the feeling I get when our eyes lock,

Or how the simple touch of your hand is enough to make me tremble.

 

You and me, we just flow;

Like the way our blood flows through our veins.

Its natural. It keeps us alive.

 

And when we are apart,

I stop. I break down.

The blood no longer flows through me, 

And I realize;

You are my only source of life.
