Without you I’m not Whole

Without you I’m not whole
You are my very soul
You are the imprint on my head
You are the mattress of my bed

I have had happiness from you
I felt it as it grew
You always gave it to me straight
Handed it to me on a plate

And I knew how happiness felt
When before you I knelt
You gave me all you had
And you said I was your lad

With every laptop and hard drive
It is like you are there inside
The memory runs deep
And returns when I’m asleep

Without you I’m not one
Like daybreak without sun
When you see me crack a smile
It is as if you’d run a mile

Be it summertime or fall
Or any time of year all
You’d see me fall out of the tree
And you’d sit me on your knee

But in the sacristy of life
Your tabernacle full of strife
I knew that I was touched
The question is how much
