Vital

My dear love

My winged soul

When I close my eyes 

It is your face I see

Sometimes

I am afraid to speak 

Because it is 

Your name in my mouth

Always on the tip of my tongue

You are as necessary to my being

As oxygen in my blood

And as near to my heart

As its beat

Every tear that falls 

Is just one more 

Indication of how 

Vital 

You are to me
