Analysis of Memoir 086
My Love
I ask myself each night what is love without you
I ask myself each night what is the sky without the stars
I ask myself each night what is the sea without the land
You are the soil to my field
The Sun to my sky
The waves to my Ocean
The moon to my stars
The piece of my soul
I sometimes question whether we will meet now or later on
In this lifetime or the next
But fate has a way of giving you things when you least expect them
Maybe one of the tomorrows will bring you to my doorstep
Maybe my words would one day just lead you towards me
Maybe just maybe I will be the N on your compass, some day
Sometimes I wish that was all I have to say but....
At the end of the day I just have paint in hand, but no canvas
At the end of the day I just have a pen in hand, but no paper
At the end of the day I just have a cutter in hand, but no clay
At the end of the day I just have letters for you in hand, but no you
