A Reason to Live

(For the same friend)

Give me a reason to live,
A reason to breathe.
Give me a reason to stay afloat
In my tumultuous sea.

A reason, a reason,
That I can do.
The first one?
I love you.
The sun will rise tomorrow,
In fire and flaming light.
You'll be alive tomorrow,
And your future is oh so bright.
The wind on your face,
The breeze in your hair.
Clear, cool water,
Crisp, fresh air.
Soft pillows,
Small children's sweet smiles.
Loud laughter
Echoing for miles.
Rich milk chocolate,
Cake, sugar, cream.
Friends to cry on,
To support when you lean.
Kittens and puppies,
And little birds too,
But the best of all?
The people who love you.
