If Not For You

Theresa Streshenkoff 1983 (Pittsburgh PA)

If not for you I would not know
What true love really meant
I’d never feel this inner peace I could not be content

If not for you id never find
The pleasures of romance
Id miss the bliss, the craziness
Of loves sweet silly dance

I have to feel your tender touch
I have to hear your voice
No other one could take your place
Your it, I have no choice

If not for you I’d be adrift
I don’t know what I’d do
I’d be searching for my other half
Incomplete if not for you

About this poem

It’s about finding your other half your soulmate
