Analysis of You
With you, the sun is the moon.
The moon is the earth.
And the earth is the hearth
Where the stars take their breath.
Without you, the moon is the sun.
The sun is the earth.
And the earth is the moon
Where stars meet their death.
With you, man is woman.
Woman is man.
And they are
One. And for each other--only!
Without you, man is man.
Woman is woman
And they are Two and Nothing--
Like earth and moon without sun.
