If it wasn't for the likes of you

If it wasn't for the likes of you

Lovely thoughts caress my heart
As i recall the one about you
A thought so vivid, I would tear apart
And I am sure the world would too

About love, how might i begin,
As I was certain of its death,
And speechless I lay therein,
Trying to catch my breath

I pay no heed to my lonesome years,
Which yearned for someone like you
I count not anymore my withered tears,
Which all droughts wished they knew,

And feel I, always, regret and remorse
That if only this happiness was forever
And that you were its eternal source
And now I will write, and no word shall sever

For if the seas were like paper to pen,
And oceans, books wherein i may write at ease
Then marvel at my words oh men,
That no ocean or sea could ever endure
And if this love be like a fatal disease
Then i have truly died and there is no cure.

I am that fountain of love,
And you are its gushing water,
I am that tranquil dove,
And you are what lets it fly further

And the words are endless you see,
But what the soul aspires is true
And no second would i ever be,
If it wasn't for the likes of you
