Analysis of Love is Life Itself
William Shakespeare 1564 (Stratford-upon-Avon) – 1616 (Stratford-upon-Avon)
I think love is life itself
For without it who are we.
Travelling down life’s darkest road
So alone we cannot see.
To feel your heart jump but one beat
With just a simple kiss
Is true that that love is life itself
Too beautiful to miss
