Half Our Lives Poem by Adele Katie Bowling

Note: This is a song!




before I met you
I only had half a heart
from the start
a void waiting
for you to bring me
your light

you complete me
in every way you can
and now I hope you
can understand

before we met I
was only half a life
half a soul just
trying to burn bright
at least I thought so
until I met you
and then I realized
I was only half a life

if you left me
I would only
be half a candle
be half a flame
burning slowly
down to ashes
I would be nothing
don't leave me again

before we met I
was only half a life
half a soul just
trying to burn bright
at least I thought so
until I met you
and I realized
I was only half a life

you keep my fire burning
even when we are washed away
you are my heart's desire
when I weaken, you never tire
please don't ever leave my side
because we are one, you and I

before we met
we were half of our lives
half of our souls were
trying to burn bright
at least we thought so
until we met that night
that's when we realized
we were only half our lives
