My Dependable Poem by Barima Basoah

My better half, my sweetest part,
the part that shall never part,
for my world not to fall apart,
and never will we keep a distance apart.

I will climb mountains high,
I will cross oceans deep,
and jump through hoops and loops,
just to reach you wherever.

As all the conditions of the
atmosphere are weather,
so are all my conditions you,
my mood, my direction, my energizer.

As energy holds the parts
of an atom together,
so you are my source of energy,
don't release out of me to split my parts.

As life depends on the sun,
as the earth needs the sun's heat,
as living creatures need sunlight,
so I depend on you and need you alway.
