True Love

In a journey
Of uncertain steps
You are the only certainty
From birth to death

With you
I come alive
When you leave
I die

I remain unmindful
All my life
But you remain
By my side day and night

With me in
All my moods
Guiding me
Till I feel good

Working up a storm
When I rage
Dipping me in calm
Calming me with grace

Together we journey
You are my true,
Nay, in every life
My only love

Caressing me
Every second
From without
And deep within

The day you decide
This is it and no more
You up and leave,
And my pleas, ignore

With you gone
My journey ends
I am nothing but a body
A carcass, in the end.
