My Existence
Tommy L. Maddox 1972 (North Carolina)
Oh soft light,
that feels so right.
Bring me your love,
on this summer, rainy night.
Your fire burns away,
the cold, lonely darkness.
That I call home,
and your kiss warms my very soul.
I yearn for your touch,
but only find air.
You are never here,
and always there.
For you are in my heart,
and in my memories.
I am you and you are me.
My love,
my life,
My reason for existing.
