How Can I... Poem by Sotto Voce

How can I Write without YOU?
When You are the Honey, and I am the Bee.
When You are the Land, and I am the Sea.
When You are the Music, and I am the Song.
When You are the Right, and I am the Wrong.

How can I Smile without YOU?
When I am the Ice, and You are the Cream.
When I am the Thought, and You are the Dream.
When I am the Moon, and You are the Sun.
When I am the Laughter, and You are the Fun.

How can I Love without YOU?
When You are the Mountain, and I am the Cloud.
When You are the Meek, and I am the Proud.
When You are the Soul, and I am the Mate.
When You are the Hero, and I am the Cape.

How can I Live without YOU?
When I am the Night, and You are the Day.
When I am the Sound, and You are the Say.
When I am the Candle, and You are the Flame.
When I am the Body, and You are the Name.
