Without You Poem by JoAnn McGrath

To me, my friend
You'll never grow old
I won't forget those
First words you told
And even now you say
I can't believe
How we now relate
It's hard to conceive

I cherish every word you bring
You know this true
For it is what I lack
It's why I'm blue
And yet those same words
Bring sadness too
Knowing there's nothing I can do

You see our worlds
Are so far apart
And so different
Yet similar hearts
You know my words
That I must use
It's just not fair
What one must go through
And then more words said
No guarantees, no easy road
It will get better
A lighter load

Is it that I'm impatient?
Or am I tired?
Is it the span of time
that I have acquired?

All I know
That this is true.....
I couldn't survive
Without you
