Love

If Not For You
If not for you, I wouldn’t know
What true love really meant.
I’d never feel this inner peace;
I couldn’t be content.
If not for you, I’d never have
The pleasures of romance.
I’d miss the bliss, the craziness,
Of love’s sweet, silly dance.
I have to feel your tender touch;
I have to hear your voice;
No other one could take your place;
You’re it; I have no choice.
If not for you, I’d be adrift;
I don’t know what I’d do;
I’d be searching for my other half,
Incomplete, if not for you.

By Joanna Fuchs

   This poem is a really nice poem with a beautiful meaning. I observed that the poet was only talking about the desires and how the he/she will feels if their lover isn't there with them. I noticed that the poet described love as a silly dance and I think she meant all the craziness and foolishness a person does when they are in love. I like the last line because I think it means how lost and incomplete someone will be if they don't find the person they are made for. I really like this line as well, "You’re it; I have no choice" because it's like saying "you are it, I love you, end of discussion!" 
   I really like this poem because its shows that when someone is in love they are enchanted by how beautiful it is and how it makes you feel all happy and joyful. I also think how when you find someone you really like you only think about that person and you want to be with that person with all your heart and you just can't stop thinking about that special someone.
   Love is a beautiful thing in life and it can also be painful, really painful. When someone is in love, they are blind cause they only see that person they love, deaf cause they hear only that persons voice and they can only speak about that person. I really wish that one day everyone finds their special someone and there hearts won't break because they will be happy together forever and ever. But of course that won't happen because there is so much cruelty in this world but I still wish that love, one day, will spread like wild fire in this world, not one kind of love but many kinds of love including the love you give to your family and friends!
